Short Circuit Sparks Fire at Shiva Electricals in Noida Sector 9

Use of breathing apparatus and multiple fire tenders to control heavy smoke highlights how electrical faults and stored cardboard raise fire risk in commercial warehouses.

Overview

  • The blaze at Shiva Electricals, which broke out Sunday evening, began on the upper floors after a short circuit and caused cardboard cartons to smoulder.
  • Noida Fire Department received the call at about 5:15 p.m. and initially dispatched three fire tenders while crews entered the building using breathing apparatus because of dense smoke.
  • Firefighters brought the fire fully under control and extinguished it the same evening with no reported injuries or loss of life.
  • Visuals showed thick smoke as crews worked to stop the flames from spreading to nearby structures and to clear smouldering materials from the upper floors.
  • The Noida incident follows a major electronics godown fire in Delhi’s Shahdara the day before and underscores growing concern over electrical safety and storage practices in warehouse-style commercial premises.
