There was an explosion of an air conditioner in a housing society of sector 119 of Noida, which led to a major fire breakout on Monday, causing panic among the inhabitants. The fire breakout occurred in a flat located on the 21st floor of Aranya Society, Sector 119, which comes under the jurisdiction of Sector-113 police station.
Heavy smoke could be seen rising from the tall building as the fire quickly spread in the flat and even caught hold of one nearby flat. Fire engines numbering six are at the scene, and efforts to douse the fire are currently underway. While the cause of the fire is not confirmed officially yet, no casualty has occurred.
This incident follows another fire that broke out in the early hours of Monday morning at a four-storey residential building in northwest Delhi's Keshav Puram area. That blaze prompted a swift rescue operation in which three occupants — Gaurav, twenty-eight, Kaira, twenty-five, and Indu Batra, fifty-five — were safely evacuated from the terrace by fire department personnel. Fortunately, no injuries were reported in this incident either.
According to an officer from the Delhi Fire Service, the fire was confined to twenty-four electricity meters installed on the ground floor of the building. Firefighters managed to bring the blaze under control by 2:30 am, concluding the operation, though the precise cause of that fire also remains under investigation.
