Massive Fire Erupts at PG Hostel in Delhi's Mukherjee Nagar; All Girls Rescued

A major fire incident unfolded in Delhi’s Mukherjee Nagar area, sending shockwaves through the city as a girls’ PG hostel, Signature Apartments, became engulfed in flames. Swift action from the Delhi Fire Services saved the day, ensuring the safe evacuation of all residents, without any casualties.

The fire reportedly broke out at approximately 5:47 PM, prompting an immediate response from the authorities. A total of 20 fire tenders were dispatched to the scene, their sirens echoing through the neighborhood, as firefighters battled to control the blaze and rescue individuals trapped inside.

Preliminary findings from the fire department suggest that the inferno originated from the meter board located near the staircase on the ground floor. The fire quickly spread to the upper levels of the building, posing a grave threat to the occupants.

“The fire has been extinguished, and around 35 girls who were stuck inside the building have been rescued,” reported officials from the Delhi Fire Services.

Delhi Chief Fire Service Officer, Atul Garg, provided assurance that the situation was under control, confirming that there were no casualties, and all residents had been successfully evacuated by approximately 9:30 PM. “Fire is completely extinguished. There were around 35 girls, and all are safe,” he stated.

The four-story building, which includes a ground floor and three additional levels, reportedly had only one staircase, raising concerns about the ease of evacuation in the event of a fire emergency. Additionally, there was a kitchen located on the terrace of the building.

Incidents like this serve as a stark reminder of the importance of fire safety measures and the need for regular inspections and maintenance to prevent such devastating events. Authorities are expected to conduct a thorough investigation into the cause of the fire to determine any lapses in safety protocols.

As the dust settles and the affected residents receive necessary assistance and support, the community is left with gratitude that this potentially catastrophic incident ended with everyone safe and sound. The heroic efforts of the firefighters and swift response from emergency services undoubtedly played a crucial role in averting a tragedy.
