Huge fire burns down thread factory at Singur, workers evacuate

A massive fire broke out in a thread factory in Singur on Sunday, causing widespread panic among workers and locals. The incident occurred in the evening when the factory, filled with highly flammable materials, suddenly caught fire. Thankfully, no casualties have been reported so far.

The fire, which spread rapidly through the premises, drew immediate attention as thick black smoke covered the surrounding area. Locals and factory staff sprang into action, ensuring the workers were safely evacuated before the situation worsened. However, controlling the blaze proved challenging due to the highly combustible nature of the materials stored in the factory.

Five fire engines were dispatched to the scene to tackle the blaze. Firefighters worked relentlessly to bring the fire under control, but the size of the affected area and the intensity of the flames made the task arduous. Witnesses described the scene as chaotic, with fire crews and locals working side by side to prevent the fire from spreading further.

Preliminary investigations suggest a short circuit may have triggered the fire. Authorities are examining the site to confirm the cause and assess the extent of the damage. Officials are also emphasizing the need for stringent fire safety measures in factories handling flammable materials.

Despite the significant damage to the factory, the prompt evacuation ensured no loss of life or serious injuries. Locals played a crucial role in the initial response, attempting to douse the flames and assisting workers in leaving the premises.
