Fire breaks out in Prayagraj tent supplier warehouse | Prayagraj News

NEW DELHI: An enormous hearth that erupted at a tent home godown in the Parade space of Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh on Saturday morning, with no casualties reported to this point.
Fire tenders have been instantly dispatched to the scene, and extra help was referred to as from close by districts.

Fire Officer RK Chaurasia mentioned, “We received information about the fire in the godown. I immediately mobilised all fire tankers from the fire station. The Chief Fire Officer is also here with me.”
The severity of the state of affairs prompted authorities to request help from surrounding areas. “I called for fire tankers from all the nearby districts, given the incident. All the defence tankers have also been called. The fire is huge and its temperature is so high that we have to use shields to put it out… I have also got blisters all over my body… Extremely heavy storage in the godown caused this fire. The people there were told many times they should move all this stuff away. Cylinders were also kept there, which also exploded in the fire… Appropriate action will be taken once the fire is extinguished,” Chaurasia added.
Officials are at present investigating to find out the reason for the hearth, which stays unclear right now.
The presence of cylinders in the storage facility led to explosions throughout the hearth, complicating the firefighting efforts.
