One Mukesh, who lived in the building with his family, helped Nathulal construct five rooms in the building. As the fire broke out, Nathulal and a few locals managed to douse the flames and rushed the injured to GTB Hospital. Around 3:30 in the morning, a fire broke out. A fire brigade vehicle and two others arrived at the scene and extinguished it.
Fire Source and Victims
Fire brigade officials rescued four people who were admitted to the hospital, where doctors declared them dead. Sources suggest that the fire probably started from the inverter, which then spread to the sofa on the first floor of the building, eventually engulfing the entire floor. The deceased have been identified as Heera Singh (48), Neetu Singh (46), Robin (22), and Lakshya (21). The exact cause of the fire is yet to be determined, and an investigation is underway.
These devastating fire incidents in Delhi and Ghaziabad serve as a stark reminder of the ever-present risk of fire hazards and the critical importance of robust fire safety measures across all establishments, whether residential, commercial, or construction sites.
Preventive Measures
To prevent such catastrophic events, it is imperative to implement stringent fire safety protocols and adhere to industry best practices. Some key preventive measures include:
- Conducting thorough fire risk assessments and audits regularly.
- Proper storage, handling, and disposal of combustible materials as per fire code regulations.
- Installing comprehensive fire protection systems, including fire alarms, smoke detectors, and sprinklers.
- Ensuring effective compartmentalization through fire-rated doors, walls, and partitions to contain fire spread.
- Maintaining clear and unobstructed evacuation routes and emergency exits.
- Providing adequate fire extinguishers and training personnel in their proper usage.
- Developing and implementing a comprehensive fire safety plan with regular drills and staff training.
Benefits of Fire Safety
Investing in fire safety is crucial. Having good fire protection systems is much more beneficial than costly. Fires can cause serious harm, damage property, disrupt business, and lead to legal issues if fire codes are not followed.
