Late-night blaze hits flea market
A devastating fire broke out early on Tuesday in the Landa Bazaar situated in Mehrban Market near the Dispensary Ground in the Tench Bhatta area, reducing more than 25 makeshift stalls and their contents to ashes.
RA Bazaar police stated the preliminary probe indicated that the fire had most likely been caused by an electrical short circuit. They verified that no victims or injuries were documented, although the affected stallholders suffered extensive property losses.
The blaze, whose flames were visible from a considerable distance, prompted local locals to alert Recovery effort 1122 and other urgent condition services. Before the arrival of recovery effort teams, nearby shopkeepers and locals attempted to contain the fire on their own, but the intensity of the flames made their efforts unsuccessful.
Teams from Recovery effort 1122 and the Fire Large military formation subsequently reached the scene and launched a coordinated firefighting protection action. Firefighters encountered considerable difficulty in bringing the blaze under control because of the large quantity of clothing and other highly combustible goods stored in the stalls.
Following sustained efforts, however, they succeeded in extinguishing the fire and later completed the cooling process to prevent any rekindling.
