Let us know the complete and detailed information about these two horrific fires that took place in Hyderabad. Fire broke out in anti-drone manufacturing unit of Madhapur, three fire tenders brought it under control. On Monday, the first major incident of fire in Hyderabad came to light in Madhapur, a high-tech and commercially important area of the city. A sudden fire broke out in the state-of-the-art anti-drone testing and manufacturing unit of 'Unistring Tech Solutions Pvt Ltd' located here. Since this unit was involved in the manufacturing and testing of modern defense equipment and anti-drone technology, there was panic in the security system and local administration as soon as the news of the fire was received. As soon as information about the accident was received, without wasting a moment the fire department vehicles were immediately dispatched to the spot. Senior officials of the fire department said that as soon as the information was received, three fire tenders reached the spot. The fire brigade personnel, displaying indomitable courage and professional acumen, after a lot of hard work, surrounded the huge flames from all sides and finally succeeded in completely controlling the fire. The fortunate thing is that despite the fire in this sensitive technical unit, all the employees were evacuated safely in time, due to which there were no casualties. Initial investigation officials believe that the fire may have been caused by a short circuit, however, forensic and departmental investigations are underway to ascertain the exact figures and cause of the loss. Textile shop burnt to ashes in Madina Market near Charminar, five vehicles extinguished the fire. While there was a stir in the anti-drone unit in one corner of the city, on the other hand, a fierce fire scared the traders in the famous Madina Market located near Charminar, the oldest and most historical area of Hyderabad. On Monday morning, a fire suddenly broke out under mysterious circumstances in a major clothing shop in Madina Market. Since there was a huge amount of clothes, synthetic sarees and inflammable materials in the shop, the fire took a huge form within a few minutes and the flames started touching the sky. While giving information to the media, Assistant District Fire Officer Bhanu Pratap said that the fire control room had received information about this accident at 9.50 am. Due to the extremely narrow and crowded market of the old city, the risk of fire spreading to the nearby shops was very high. Considering the seriousness of the danger, immediate action was taken and five fire tenders were sent to the spot. Fire fighters operated on a war footing, used water cannons and successfully extinguished the fire after several hours of hard work. During this time, nearby shops were evacuated safely, so that the damage could be prevented from increasing. The fortunate thing is that even in this horrific accident, there has been no news of any casualty, but the clothes and goods worth lakhs of rupees kept inside the shop were completely burnt to ashes. Major accident averted due to promptness of administration, questions raised again on safety standards. These incidents of fire at two different places in a busy metropolis like Hyderabad in the same day have once again raised serious questions regarding safety standards in industrial units and commercial premises. Be it a high-tech defense unit like Madhapur or a traditional and dense textile market like Madina Market, there is a possibility of huge economic loss due to fire in both the places. However, a major national or humanitarian crisis was averted due to prompt action and alertness of the local police, district administration and fire department staff. The administration is now conducting technical investigation into short circuit or other possible negligence in both the cases, so that recurrence of such dangerous incidents can be prevented in future. Hyderabad Police has appealed to traders and factory operators to get regular checks of fire safety equipment in their premises and ensure periodic maintenance of electrical wires so that such disasters can be avoided.
