Fire Breaks Out at Government Central Warehouse in Morena

A fire broke out at the government central warehouse in Morena during the night between Sunday and Monday, at around 12:30 am on Diwali. The fire started in wood and garbage kept inside the warehouse premises.

The flames rose so high that they appeared to be reaching towards 3 to 4 houses located nearby. After seeing the fire take a severe form, people living in the area became frightened. For safety, residents had to leave their homes.

Local people immediately informed the fire department about the incident. A fire tender then reached the spot. The fire brigade team worked for a considerable time before bringing the blaze under control.

The fire was extinguished in time, averting the possibility of a major accident. There is no information about any major damage in the incident.

Fire Started in Wood and Garbage

According to Fire Officer Ramjivan Upadhyay, cut wood from trees had been kept inside the warehouse premises. Garbage was also dumped at the same place.

He said there was a possibility that a spark from fireworks came from somewhere on Diwali and fell on the wood and garbage. The fire may have then spread rapidly.

Ramjivan Upadhyay said the fire brigade team reached the spot as soon as information about the fire was received. The flames were brought under control in time, preventing the fire from spreading towards the houses nearby and averting the possibility of a major accident.
