A massive fire broke out at a vest manufacturing unit and warehouse in Kolkata’s Dumdum area in the early hours of Friday, police said. Fortunately, there were no injuries reported from the blaze, which started around 3:00 am at Nagerbazar on Jessore Road.
According to a senior officer, at least 20 fire tenders were pressed into service to extinguish the flames, believed to have originated from an adjacent ice cream factory. Residents pitched in to assist firefighters, who struggled for nearly four hours to bring the blaze under control.
"The presence of inflammable materials contributed to the rapid spread of the fire. There were reports of a few explosions from inside. Our firefighters are working to contain it," the officer said.
The area, home to several warehouses and small manufacturing units, posed additional challenges for firefighters battling to prevent the fire from spreading. As a precautionary measure, the power supply in the area has been cut off, with the entire vicinity enveloped in thick black smoke.
