Massive Fire Breaks Out at Kota's City Mall, Emergency Response Activated

Fire Incident at City Mall in Kota

A significant fire erupted on the second floor of the City Mall located in Kota, prompting officials to dispatch 12 fire engines to the scene. According to the Kota police, the mall was not open at the time, which minimized the risk of casualties. Authorities confirmed that the blaze originated on the second floor and has largely been brought under control, although smoke remains present. Fire officer Amjad Khan informed reporters that the fire was reported approximately an hour and a half ago. We dispatched fire engines from all stations. Given the intensity of the fire, a total of 12 fire engines are currently engaged in extinguishing the flames. We have made considerable progress in controlling the fire; our next focus is on reducing the smoke.

Superintendent of Police Tejaswini Gautam stated that while the mall has been closed, our priority post-extinguishing the fire is to ensure no one is trapped inside. To prevent the fire from spreading and to avoid further incidents, over a dozen fire stations, SDRF personnel, civil defense, and police rescue teams are actively involved in the operation. We will investigate the cause of the fire further. Earlier this month, a severe fire broke out at a refinery and petrochemical complex in Pachpadra, Balotra district, where black smoke was visible as firefighting vehicles arrived and efforts continued.
