Gurugram: Fire breaks out at furniture warehouses in Sector 89, no casualty

Gurugram, Apr 6 (PTI) A fire broke out in four adjacent furniture warehouses in Sector 89 here on Monday, officials said.

Preliminary investigation suggested the welding spark as the cause of the fire. No casualties were reported so far, they said.

“A warehouse was being constructed nearby, where work was underway to erect a tin shed. It is being said that this spark ignited the fire,” police said.

They said after receiving information at around 12.15 pm, seven fire tenders were rushed to the spot.

A petrol and CNG pump was located right next to the warehouses where the fire broke out. Fearing the fire could reach the area, teams shut down the pump, and a fire brigade was deployed there to prevent the fire from spreading further, the officer said.

“All the warehouses were filled with old and new furniture, which is why the fire spread rapidly,” police said. PTI COR APL APL
