Fire breaks out due to short circuit in society on Surat's Bhatar Road

A devastating fire broke out due to a short circuit early Wednesday morning at the Sai Nagar Complex within the Jalaram Ashish Society campus located on Bhatar Road in Surat. The incident occurred at approximately 2:30 am, while the city was in deep sleep. Initially, the sound of explosions led people to believe that Diwali crackers were being burst, but in no time, the flames began to take a fierce form.

Due to this fire, the entire society woke up. Several vehicles, including cars, were parked in the complex's parking area, which significantly increased the risk. Had the fire spread to the vehicles, the damage could have been much greater. The fire brigade was informed via the centralized emergency number 112.

Fire Officer Gadhvi and his team reached the spot and immediately initiated operations. The fire brigade personnel managed to bring the fire under control in time. Fortunately, there was no loss of life in this incident, and a major disaster was averted.

During the days of Diwali, such incidents often go unnoticed amidst the noise of crackers, which can prove to be dangerous. This incident has highlighted the importance of safety amidst festive celebrations.
