Hyderabad :- A devastating fire accident occurred in the old city area of Hyderabad, specifically in Jiyaguda, resulting in the injury of four family members and the tragic death of a ten-year-old girl.
The fire broke out in Jiyaguda just past midnight, with flames originating on the first floor and rapidly spreading to three additional floors within moments. The blaze started in a warehouse that manufactured mattresses, sofas, and chairs. Fire personnel responded quickly, arriving with ten fire engines to control the situation.
The accident took place in a four-story building located in Venkateshwaranagar, Jiyaguda. The first floor housed the sofa manufacturing warehouse, while four families resided on the second and third floors. In a desperate attempt to escape, one individual jumped from the top and sustained fractures in both legs, leading to his hospitalization.
The fire spread rapidly due to foam material stored on the ground floor catching fire immediately after a short circuit. Firefighters are currently investigating the exact cause of the blaze. The thick smoke and flames caused panic among nearby residents. The entire building was engulfed in flames, with the fire continuing to rage from midnight until dawn. The warehouse owner, Dhanunjay, is currently missing.
