A significant fire incident occurred in Motihari, Bihar, on the day of Dussehra, causing extensive damage to a motorcycle agency. The fire at the Bajrang motorcycle agency in Talimpur Ward-7, which broke out late at night, not only destroyed a substantial amount of property but also brought a sense of mourning to the Vijaya Dashami celebrations for the agency staff and its owner. The estimated loss incurred by the motorcycle agency owner amounts to crores of rupees.
The initial assessment points towards a possible short circuit as the cause of the fire, although investigations are still ongoing to determine the exact origin. The fire brigade was notified immediately upon the outbreak of the fire. The fire department team, in collaboration with the local police and members of the public, worked diligently to bring the fire under control.
This incident occurred on the same day as the nationwide celebration of Vijaya Dashami. The agency staff and owner were deeply impacted by the event. The fire resulted in the destruction of about 60 motorcycles and spare parts, with an estimated loss of 4 crore rupees. Nearby residents were also understandably alarmed by the fire.
**Firefighters Worked Tirelessly to Control the Blaze**
Special arrangements had been made for the day of Vijaya Dashami, which is usually a period of increased vehicle sales. A large inventory of vehicles was prepared. The fire brigade was alerted to the fire at night. By the time they arrived, the fire had already spread significantly. The intensity of the fire made it visible from a distance, and people found it difficult to approach the scene. After many hours of hard work by the fire brigade, the blaze was eventually brought under control.
