Lucknow Warehouse Blaze: 6 Fire Tenders Battle Massive Plastic Fire
A plastic warehouse in Lucknow's Chhota Devi Kheda village caught fire on Sunday night. Six fire tenders were deployed to control the blaze.
A massive fire erupted at a plastic warehouse in Lucknow late Sunday night, triggering an emergency response from the city's fire services. The incident occurred at a scrap dealer's facility located in Chhota Devi Kheda village, which falls under the jurisdiction of the Ashiyana police station.
Rapid Escalation of Flames
The fire department was alerted to the emergency at approximately 9:47 PM. According to Suchit Pratap Singh, the Fire Station Officer (FSO) of Sarojini Nagar, a caller identified as Pawan reported that a fire had broken out in the plastic warehouse and was spreading with alarming speed.
Recognizing the urgency of the situation, the department immediately dispatched two fire tenders to the scene. However, the nature of the materials stored in the warehouse made the situation far more volatile.
Intense Battle to Control the Blaze
Upon arriving at the site, officials found the blaze to be extremely intense. Because the warehouse contained large quantities of plastic—a highly combustible material—the fire intensified rapidly, creating a fierce inferno.
Faced with the severity of the flames, the FSO immediately contacted the control room to request reinforcements. Three additional fire tenders were summoned to assist in the operation, bringing the total number of deployed units to six.
No Casualties Reported
Despite the scale of the fire and the speed at which it spread, officials have confirmed that there were no casualties in the incident. The fire services worked tirelessly to bring the situation under control and prevent the blaze from spreading further into the surrounding area.
While the fire is being managed, further details regarding the cause of the blaze are still awaited.
