Major fire broke out on open plot on NIBM road
Unattended garbage accumulated on the open plot next to Ujjwal Park society adjacent to the nala caught fire thrice in the last 24 hours.
Reason to the fire is still unknown but the accumulated garbage was a big nuisance for the neighbouring societies around the plot.
Local corporator Nanda Lonkar of Prabhag 26 informed Pune Pulse that the garbage caught fire once at yesterday night and twice today morning. We rushed to the spot with water tankers and informed the Fire Brigade too. We are yet to ascertain the reason of it but prima facie it appears that someone is purposely doing this act.
An officer at the Kondhwa fire station informed Pune Pulse that around four vehicles from PMC fire brigade were rushed and a few tankers. We attended three calls since yesterday at the same place.
“I immediately rushed to the spot opposite to MSEDCL office on NIBM road and called 8 fire tenders and 3 jcbs to get the situation under control. The situation is now under control due to tireless work of fire brigade and PMC team,” added Nanda Lonkar.
Anil Gaikwad, fire station officer from Kondhwa Khurd Fire station informed Pune Pulse that we received three calls since yesterday evening. A total of 15 fire station staff from Central Fire Brigade, Kondhwa Khurd and Kondhwa Budruk were pressed into the work to douse the fire. Also were helped by PMC staff and local residents. With the help of JCB we removed the garbage and sprayed water over it. Now things are in control.”
