On Thursday early morning, a major fire broke out at a dyeing company cum godown in Maharashtra’s Bhiwandi. The incident took place around 2:35 am in the two storey Kapil Rayon located at Kongaon, Kalyan-Bhiwandi road, in the city’s Sarivali MIDC area, fire officials said.
At first, only one fire tender of Bhiwandi Nizampur City Municipal Corporation (BNCMC) and one jumbo water tanker of Thane Municipal Corporation (TMC) were rushed to the spot. As the blaze continued to spread, more fire tenders from nearby cities reached the spot. The firefighting operation is still underway.
However, so far no injury or casualty has been reported but the company that had a stock of raw and finished cloth and yarn has completely engulfed in the blaze, according to fire officials.
Moreover, the officials stated that since the godown has stock of clothes the blaze kept spreading and engulfed the entire two floors. Though the cause of the fire is not known yet.
This is the second major fire incident reported in the last 24 hours in the MMR region. On Wednesday evening, there was a fire reported at Calyx Chemicals and Pharmaceutical Limited in Dombivli MIDC. As many as six fire vehicles were rushed to the spot to douse the fire. Thankfully there have no injuries reported in this fire incident as well.
