Massive Fire Breaks Out in Furniture Warehouse in Thane, 6-7 Shops Burned; Watch VIDEO

Thane (The Uttam Hindu): A massive fire broke out early in the morning in the Khadpuda area of Bhiwandi, Thane, engulfing a furniture warehouse, a hotel, and storage spaces for wedding materials and scrap. The fire created chaos in the area. According to reports, the fire started at a scrap warehouse in the Khadpuda locality of Bhiwandi. The blaze rapidly spread, consuming around 6 to 7 shops, which were reduced to ashes. The fire broke out between 4:30 and 5:00 am.

Upon receiving the alert, three fire trucks were dispatched to the scene. Firefighters faced significant challenges in controlling the blaze. The Shanti Nagar Police team also arrived at the site. Media sources indicate that there are three to four marriage halls in the area. During weddings, people engage in fireworks, which are prohibited, but many ignore the restrictions.

The fireworks are ignited, and although the people leave, local businesses suffer the consequences. It is worth noting that nearly two years ago, a major fire had occurred at Ansari Marriage Hall. The video of that incident went viral on social media. Following that, locals raised concerns about removing such marriage halls to reduce the constant fire risk in the area.
