Early-Morning Fire at Thrissur Railway Station Parking Destroys Hundreds of Two-Wheelers

Investigators are reviewing CCTV to confirm whether a fallen power line sparked the blaze.

Overview

  • Flames broke out around 6:30–6:45 am in the paid two-wheeler shed near Platform No. 2 and were brought under control by about 7:45 am.
  • Officials estimated roughly 400 bikes were parked with most gutted, while some reports put confirmed losses at more than 200.
  • Multiple fire tenders were deployed, and firefighters prevented the blaze from spreading to station platforms as train operations continued normally.
  • The tin-sheet parking structure was heavily damaged, and no injuries or service disruptions have been reported.
  • Police, railway and fire authorities opened a formal probe, with a spark from a fallen electric line onto a covered bike treated as a possible cause.
