Fire broke out on Thursday in a multi-fabled marketable complex and also spread to two touching structures in Hyderabad . The incident happened between 10: 00 am and 10: 30 am. No casualties have been reported. Still, at least six people were trapped on top of the complex when the fire broke out. They were trying to get down from the fire and reached upstairs for safety. Thick layer of smoke gulfed the structure, making the deliverance operation delicate. Two firemen took ill due to the smoke and were rushed to a sanitarium.
Meanwhile, there’s a business block as the area is girdled by thick smoke and passers by. State Animal Husbandry minister T Srinivas Yadav, who rushed to the spot, was supervising deliverance and relief work. The Minister said strict action would be taken against illegal storages in the midst of domestic areas as they were posing a threat to people’s lives. It’s also learned that fire from the Deccan store spread to four other structures next to it and explosion sounds are heard from inside the Deccan store structure. Authorities are emptying the people of nearby houses as the fire isn’t under control. The locals are suffocating due to the fire and heavy smoke in the area. Fire crews also fell ill due to heavy smoke.
On the other hand, the officers are meant to bring the fire under control with the help of chemicals. It’s learned that there’s a possibility of the structure collapsing if the fire continues. About 10 people who were trapped in the building were originally saved by the fire department labour force and the original police. The fire officers also doused the fire but the fire renewed again and about 30 firefighters were rushed to the spot to continue to help. Heavy smoke gulfed the entire area and hindered the firefighting operations. The fire officers and police vacated the touching buildings as a preventative measure.
