Metro53 - GUJRAT: Rescue officials successfully contained a fire that engulfed two warehouses in Sarai Alamgir on Sunday, preventing what authorities described as a potentially major loss.
According to rescue sources, the blaze originated near a double-storey building where cardboard and other combustible materials had reportedly been set on fire. Initial reports suggest that a drug addict may have ignited the materials, causing the flames to spread rapidly.
The fire soon reached two warehouse units located on the ground floor of the building, sending thick smoke into the surrounding area and raising concerns among local residents and business owners.
Rescue teams responded promptly after receiving information about the incident and launched an extensive firefighting operation. The operation continued for nearly two hours before firefighters succeeded in bringing the blaze under complete control.
Officials said the timely intervention prevented the fire from spreading to adjacent structures, significantly reducing the risk of further damage.
No casualties or injuries were reported in the incident. Authorities are assessing the extent of the damage, while further investigations are under way to determine the exact circumstances surrounding the fire.
