A massive fire suddenly broke out in a scrap godown named 'Ketan Enterprise' located in the Khambhalia GIDC area of Devbhumi Dwarka district, according to reports by Sandesh. Due to the scrap and flammable materials stored in the godown, the fire took a ferocious form very quickly. Following the incident, plumes of black smoke were visible far into the sky, and crowds of people gathered in the surrounding area.
Given the severity of the incident, immediate action was taken by the authorities. More than 3 fire fighter vehicles and 2 water tankers reached the spot. Fire department personnel and local residents made war-footing efforts to control the fire by continuously spraying water. In this fire, most of the scrap and goods stored in the godown have been completely burnt to ashes, leading to the possibility of a large financial loss. The exact cause of the fire and the figures of the loss will be revealed after investigation.
