A fire broke out in a three-storey building in Basant Vihar on the Noorwala road here on Wednesday evening. The Fire Department responded promptly, controlling the blaze in around 90 minutes.

The building housed a garment factory and the owner’s residence. The structure is located in a densely populated area due to which it posed challenges for the fire personnel.

Factory located in residential area

Fire officials said the factory operated in a residential zone, in violation of the norms.

The department received a call regarding the incident at 6:10 pm and swiftly dispatched tenders.

Sub fire-officer Aatish Rai said: “We deployed six to seven tenders to combat the flames on the first and second floors. The narrow lane and crowd control added to our challenges.”
