Fire Incident in Keshav Puram, Delhi

Late Sunday night, a fire erupted in a four-story residential building located in the Keshav Puram area of northwest Delhi, prompting a swift rescue operation for three individuals trapped inside. Authorities confirmed the incident.

The Delhi Fire Service (DFS) received alerts about the blaze at approximately 2:03 AM, leading to the dispatch of two fire engines, two water tankers, and a quick response vehicle to the scene.

Firefighters successfully rescued Gaurav (28), Kaira (25), and Indu Batra (55), who were stranded on the building's roof. Fortunately, there were no reports of injuries.

According to a DFS official, the fire was contained to the 24 electricity meters located on the ground floor of the building, which consists of four floors including the ground level.

The official noted that by around 2:30 AM, the fire was completely extinguished, concluding the rescue and relief efforts. The exact cause of the fire remains undetermined.

Another Fire Incident in Delhi

In a separate incident on June 24, a severe fire broke out in a slum near the Industry Bhawan area of the capital, prompting immediate action from the Delhi Fire Service. Officials reported that around 20 firefighting units were dispatched to tackle the blaze.

Fire officer Sandeep Duggal mentioned that the affected area is close to the Army Building and serves as temporary housing for laborers.

He explained, "This area is near the Army Building and consists of temporary structures for laborers. Their camp is set up here. Small LPG cylinders are being used, and electrical wires are spread inside, making it difficult to pinpoint the exact cause of the fire, but one of these factors could be responsible. Approximately 25 vehicles were involved in the firefighting efforts, which took about three hours to control."

Early Monday morning, another fire was reported in a meter board in the Keshav Puram area, prompting immediate action from the Delhi Fire Service.
