Overview

• Fire crews responded to a sauna-room blaze at the Radisson Blu hotel in Dwarka after a 12:17 a.m. Sunday call and extinguished it without civilian injuries.
• On Saturday afternoon, a fire broke out on the first floor of a three-story building in Old Delhi’s Sadar Bazar, triggering an escalated response due to the area’s high density.
• One Delhi Fire Department operator sustained serious injuries in the Sadar Bazar fire and has been hospitalized, with no other casualties reported.
• Deployment of the department’s escalation protocols and resource allocation across consecutive emergencies illustrated operational strains.
• The confined layout of the Radisson Blu sauna room exposed access challenges that authorities say are under review as part of broader safety assessments.
