Massive Fire guts plastic recycling warehouse in Kadipur Industrial Area
A massive fire broke out early Friday morning in a plastic recycling warehouse in Kadipur Industrial Area, rapidly spreading and engulfing a nearby truck. Over 20 fire engines from multiple stations, including Sector 37, Bhim Nagar, Sector 29 and Udyog Vihar, were dispatched to the scene.
The blaze, visible from a distance due to thick smoke and high flames, was brought under control after hours of intense firefighting efforts. Firefighters also prevented the fire from spreading to a nearby firecracker warehouse located just 200 m away.
The fire started around 4.30 AM in Street No. 8 of Kadipur Industrial Area, creating widespread panic among residents. However, no casualties have been reported.
"The fire was fully contained within an hour. There were no injuries or fatalities," said Rameshwar Singh, Fire Station Officer. The cause of the fire remains under investigation, though the warehouse and its contents were completely destroyed.
