According to a report by Sandesh newspaper, a fire suddenly broke out around four in the early morning in the parking lot of Krishna Avenue building located in the Mota Varachha area of Surat city. Due to this massive fire, eleven vehicles parked in the parking lot came in the grip of the fire and were completely destroyed, resulting in vehicle owners having to bear heavy financial losses.
Regarding this incident, it has been primarily estimated that the fire broke out due to a short circuit in the electric meter box of the building. Because the vehicles were very close to each other, the fire spread rapidly. In the early morning hours when people were asleep, billowing smoke spread all around and flames were seen, spreading intense fear among the residents of the entire building and causing a stampede to save lives.
Immediately upon receiving information about this mishap, the team of Mota Varachha fire station reached the spot. By continuously spraying water, the firemen brought the fire under complete control after about an hour of intense effort. Fortunately, no news of any loss of life or injuries to anyone in this serious accident was received, bringing relief to the local residents as well as the administrative machinery.
