Overview
- A shoe and plastic unit in Delhi’s Narela caught fire Wednesday morning, tagged Category 6 for severe, fast-spreading blazes, with 19 fire tenders deployed and all workers evacuated without injury.
- The Narela response began around 8:45 am, and officials said thick smoke and stored plastic goods drove the rapid spread before crews contained the site.
- In Ghaziabad, a market near Crossings Republik saw 12 shops gutted Tuesday as LPG cylinders exploded during the fire, though firefighters reported no injuries.
- Noida faced two incidents Monday, with a Sector 6 company blaze and a plastic-waste dump fire in Phase 2 both controlled by teams using five to six tenders and reporting no injuries.
- Fire officials in Gautam Budh Nagar and Ghaziabad said short circuits are the leading theory as probes continue, while shopkeepers described major losses and said narrow lanes and flammable stock slowed the response.
