Overview
- A blaze broke out at a locked two‑storey warehouse in Chitpur’s Nawabpatty area on Sunday, Sept 6, destroying stored goods before firefighters gained access.
- Firefighters deployed ten tenders and Disaster Management Group teams used gas cutters to force entry and check for trapped people.
- Officials brought the fire under control after sustained efforts with containment reported in the early afternoon and full dousing by about 4:00 p.m.
- No injuries were reported but the ground‑floor chemical stock and upper‑floor garments were gutted and a nearby vehicle was partially burned.
- The cramped lanes and mixed storage of chemicals and textiles in the area complicated response and the incident will likely prompt tighter scrutiny of urban storage and electrical safety rules.
