A fire broke out in Millennium Textile Market-2 located in the Bhathena area of Surat on Tuesday (April 14), causing panic. The fire brigade team arrived at the scene and managed to control the fire after hours of hard work.
Fortunately, there were no reports of any casualties. Initial information indicates that the fire suddenly erupted in shop number 645 on the sixth floor. Due to the height of the fire, smoke quickly spread throughout the market, causing chaos among traders and employees who rushed outside to save themselves.
Upon receiving the incident report, the control room dispatched fire engines from various fire stations. About 10 to 15 firefighters arrived at the scene and began efforts to control the fire by spraying water from all sides. The firefighters bravely reached the sixth floor and prevented the fire from spreading to other shops.
It is reported that the large quantity of fabric stored in the shop caused the fire to spread rapidly, leading to fears of significant damage. However, no one was present in the shop at the time of the fire, which averted a major disaster.
It is noteworthy that a fire incident also occurred in this market on February 20, resulting in millions of rupees worth of goods being reduced to ashes. Currently, the fire department is continuing cooling operations and investigating the cause of the fire, with initial suspicions pointing to a short circuit.
