Chandigarh (Punjab) [India], October 2 (ANI): A fire broke out at a trading company in the Industrial Area Phase 2 of Chandigarh on Monday.
Around 22 fire brigades deployed to the scene till now. Firefighters have been waging a relentless battle against the flames, working diligently to bring the fire under control.
Fire brigade officer Dashharu Singh, who reached the spot, said, “We got information about the incident at 8:04 in the morning, after which we reached the spot with four fire brigade vehicles and started controlling the fire. This factory is of furniture which had a lot of inflammable materials due to which the fire increased so much". 
"Till now 22 to 26 fire brigade vehicles have been used. Right now it is possible for me to tell how many vehicles we have used.  After leaving here we will see how many vehicles have been used. At present the situation is that we have controlled it today. The fire had also reached the second factory but was stopped before it could spread. There is no news of any loss of life or casualties in this fire”, added Singh.
In the midst of the crisis, nearby factories began the laborious task of relocating their goods to safer locations to prevent further losses.

Chandigarh Police swiftly responded to the incident, providing vital assistance in managing the situation. 
The relentless fire left the factory severely charred and reduced to ruins.
MPS Chawla, President of the Chandigarh Industrial Association, recounted the early moments of the crisis, stating, “Chandigarh Industrial Association President MPS Chawla said that around 7:30 in the morning we received the news from the watchman that there was a fire in the factory. Fire brigade vehicles were called to the spot”.
“There were furniture items inside the factory due to which the fire broke out. As far as we know, 20 to 25 fire brigade vehicles have reached the spot so far. Because there is a chemical factory behind this factory and a pharma company on the other side, if it had gone later today, it could have taken a catastrophic form due to the fire breaking out in these companies, but the fire brigade vehicles that reached the spot have brought the fire under control”, added Chawla.
Chawla continued despite continuous efforts of fire brigade personnel, the fire has still not been controlled.
Further details awaited. (ANI)
