Attapur Car Showroom Fire Contained, External Source Suspected

Investigators are reviewing CCTV to verify a suspected non-electrical cause.

Overview

  • A fire broke out at Adarsha Automotives near pillar number 185 in Rajendranagar, Attapur, in the early hours of February 10.
  • No injuries were reported, and about 90 residents from a nearby apartment building were evacuated as a precaution.
  • Two fire tenders responded after a 1:44 a.m. distress call, and a nine-member team brought the blaze under control in roughly 45 minutes.
  • Two cars were completely gutted and two others sustained partial damage, according to fire officials on the scene.
  • Station Fire Officer Chandra Naik said a preliminary probe points to a fire lit outside the showroom rather than an electrical fault, with a case registered and inquiries ongoing.
