Overview
- Early Sunday in Chand Bagh near Bhajanpura, a fire in a multi-storey home led four people, including a toddler, to jump from the first floor and suffer minor injuries.
- Delhi Fire Service raised a Make-4 call and sent 11 engines as smoke filled upper floors, then rescued eight more residents and put out the blaze by 3:50 am.
- Fire officers say two scooters and a motorcycle on the ground level likely ignited the blaze, and Dayalpur police have opened an inquiry.
- The Chand Bagh incident followed Friday’s Tri Nagar house fire, reported at about 7:10 am, where six family members sustained 15–25% burns as a suspected short circuit in a water motor set off flames near a parked motorcycle.
- The back-to-back cases underscore risks in tightly packed buildings where vehicles and wiring near stairwells can turn exits into smoke traps, a pattern now drawing fresh safety reviews.
