A devastating fire broke out late at night in a godown storing paper and cloth in Surat’s Limbayat area, triggering panic among local residents. The sudden blaze created a chaotic situation, leading to an immediate response from the fire department. Fortunately, there were no casualties reported in this incident.
According to the Fire Officer, the fire department received the alert and promptly dispatched multiple firefighting teams to the location. A total of seven fire trucks from four fire stations were deployed to douse the flames. After relentless efforts, the firefighters managed to bring the fire under control.
Preliminary reports suggest that the fire could have been caused by a short circuit. However, the exact reason remains unknown, and an investigation is currently underway to determine the root cause of the incident.
The intensity of the fire was so severe that the flames and smoke were visible from a great distance. This led to widespread panic among local residents, many of whom rushed out of their homes in fear. The scene quickly became chaotic, with people gathering in large numbers to witness the incident.
Although there were no injuries or fatalities, the godown suffered extensive damage. The stored paper and cloth materials acted as fuel, causing the fire to spread rapidly and leading to significant financial losses.
This incident has once again raised concerns about fire safety measures in commercial and storage buildings in Surat. Authorities are urging businesses and godown owners to ensure proper fire safety protocols to prevent such mishaps in the future.
