AC Blast Triggers Greater Noida House Fire With No Injuries

Fire officials urge safer AC use during a summer spike in local fire calls.

Overview

  • Firefighters said the blaze, reported Wednesday night around 10:15 pm, began after an indoor air-conditioner unit burst inside a Greater Noida home.
  • Two engines from the Knowledge Park station reached house E-166 and knocked down the flames in about 30 minutes.
  • All occupants got out safely with no injuries reported, but the fire destroyed most household items and caused heavy damage to the building.
  • Investigators described the AC blast as a preliminary cause and plan follow-up checks to confirm how the fire started.
  • With 150 fire incidents recorded this year, the department advised setting ACs near 24°C and keeping units serviced to cut electrical load and reduce risk.
