Firefighters are battling to control the fire, which was initiated by young firefighters using water. Many other shops and warehouses in the area have been evacuated, including those around the snow factory. The presence of a godown has exacerbated the spread of the fire.

Battery-Operated and Other Rams Present

According to available information, a severe fire broke out in a warehouse located near a snow factory in Sarkhej, Ahmedabad. More than ten fire engines from the Fire Brigade rushed to the scene as soon as the fire erupted. Besides fire officers, two Deputy Chief Fire Officers and immediate staff were also present at the incident site. Various types of rams and equipment were inside the warehouse, including battery-operated rams. A fire in the warehouse caused one or two batteries to explode. As a result, water from three to four fire personnel’s backpacks was ejected, leading to their injuries.

Two Individuals Rescued

Two individuals were rescued by descending through a hole from the roof. The Fire Brigade team is currently making efforts to bring the fire under control and extinguish it.
