As many as three persons of a family were killed after a fire broke out last night in a warehouse located in the Mangeraam Park area of Rohini. Due to the fire, several shanties built within the warehouse premises were reduced to ashes. Among the victims was a child, making the tragedy even more devastating.
Six fire tenders were immediately dispatched to the scene and the blaze was successfully brought under control following an extensive firefighting operation.
"In Budh Vihar, a fire incident occurred in a plot where slums were built and scrap material was collected. The fire broke out around 1.25 AM, and six fire tenders were deployed. There were 3 casualties, and no one was injured. The fire is completely under control," Fire Officer Ajay Sharma said.
Officials said the fire started on a 400-square-yard plot where plastic waste was kept and several makeshift huts had been set up. The narrow lanes in the area made it difficult for large fire engines to reach the exact location of the incident.
The Fire Department retrieved all three bodies and sent them for post-mortem. Teams from the fire service, local police, Centralised Accident and Trauma Services (CATS) and the electricity department were present at the scene.
