In the early hours of Saturday morning, a devastating fire engulfed a truck loaded with gas cylinders in Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, triggering a series of powerful explosions that echoed through the surrounding area. The incident, which occurred at Bhopura Chowk on the Delhi-Wazirabad Road in the Thana Teela Mod area, has fortunately not resulted in any casualties, despite the intense blasts.
A massive fire erupted in the truck carrying gas cylinders, sparking multiple explosions that have caused significant concern among local residents and emergency responders. The fire broke out early Saturday morning, sending shockwaves through the community due to the continuous explosions of the gas cylinders.
The incident took place at Bhopura Chowk on the Delhi-Wazirabad Road, a key location in the Thana Teela Mod area of Ghaziabad district. Despite the severity of the blasts, no casualties or injuries have been reported, which is a relief given the potentially catastrophic nature of the incident.
Fire brigade teams were quickly deployed to the scene, but their efforts to approach the truck were hindered by the ongoing cylinder explosions. Chief Fire Officer Rahul Kumar confirmed that the fire brigade personnel are present but are unable to get close to the truck due to the continuous blasts. The explosions were so powerful that they could be heard from several kilometers away, highlighting the magnitude of the incident.
To mitigate further damage, police have evacuated nearby houses as a precautionary measure. Footage captured from 2-3 kilometers away from the scene vividly shows the intensity of the explosions, underscoring the danger posed by the incident.
As of now, the cause of the fire remains unknown and is under investigation. The focus currently is on containing the situation and ensuring the safety of the surrounding area.
