In a dramatic turn of events, two factories in Ghaziabad’s bustling Sahibabad Site-4 industrial belt were engulfed in flames Monday, drawing a heroic response from fire services across districts. The fire at Chran Autotech and Bharat Oil started around midday, alerting authorities instantly.
Sahibabad station mobilized two fire tenders first, followed by Vaishali’s trio commanded by top officials. Arriving amid pandemonium, they confronted a firestorm with dense smoke signaling extreme danger to the vicinity.
Escalation led to summoning extra units: Kotwali’s three, Modinagar’s one, Loni’s two, Hapur’s one, and Gautam Buddh Nagar’s tanker—totaling ten in a coordinated assault. Hose operations encircled the sites, dousing persistent hotspots.
Chran Autotech’s bike parts production shed crumbled, with plastics and thermocol stores igniting fiercely. The neighboring Bharat Oil unit was saved through prompt isolation.
Exhausting hours later, victory was declared with no human toll. While financial repercussions loom large, the rapid intervention shielded adjacent industries and homes.
Fire officials now probe origins, praising the seamless multi-agency effort that turned potential catastrophe into a contained crisis.
