According to reports five fire tenders were dispatched to the scene. Authorities reported no injuries or casualties from the incident. Chief Fire Officer Pradeep Kumar Choubey said locals and society residents alerted the fire service unit about the incident in a 10th-floor flat at 10:10 am.
“The fire was triggered by an AC explosion. Since the firefighting systems, like sprinklers, extinguishers, and hoses, were functioning properly, the fire was contained to one room,” Choubey added, noting there was no loss of life or injuries.
