INDORE: With summer heat intensifying, incidents of fire, especially due to electrical short circuits, have been increasing across Madhya Pradesh in recent days, particularly in urban areas.
One such fire incident occurred in the early hours of Monday, when a devastating blaze transformed the peaceful skyline near Indore’s Regional Park into a scene of chaos and destruction.
The fire erupted at approximately 4:00 am, rapidly engulfing two prominent furniture showrooms situated just beyond the park’s boundaries.
Multiple firefighting vehicles battled for several hours to control the blaze, which grew increasingly dangerous. After a gruelling effort by firefighters and civic employees, the fire was finally doused. The heat was so intense it threatened to spread to adjacent structures.
Luckily, no casualties were reported by the concerned authority. However, it was notable that more than 27, 000 litres of water were required to extinguish the fire.
Additionally, a couple of municipal corporation tankers assisted in fetching water from a nearby pump.
