KANPUR: A major fire broke out in a warehouse of pulses factory in Dada Nagar Industrial area of Uttar Pradesh's late Saturday night.
Two fire tenders were pressed into service to douse the fire.
There has been massive loss of goods kept in the godown due to fire. There was no one in the godown when the fire broke out, so there is no report of any kind of casuality.
Chief Fire Officer (CFO) Deepak Sharma said that the fire broke out in the godown of a pulses mill located in the State Bank street next to the Dadanagar Police out-post, in the industrial area of the city.
"On receiving information, two fire tenders were dispatched to the spot and the fire was brought under control after about 40 minutes of effort," he said. Sharma further said that the fire spread rapidly in the warehouse because it contained combustible material in the form of gunny bags.
"However, there has been no casualty of any kind," Sharma added.
Pulses Mill owner Anil Kumar Gupta said that due to it being night time, there was no one present inside the factory. "The gunny bags and wooden items kept in the warehouse next to the factory were destroyed completely. We are trying to estimate the monetary loss caused by the fire," he said.
