In just 24 hours until midnight on Diwali, Hyderabad alone accounted for 26 calls, with an additional 12 calls coming in after midnight. Despite the intensity of these incidents, no major injuries were reported, though property damage and close calls highlighted the risks associated with Diwali festivities.
One of the most severe incidents occurred on Street Number 15 in Himayat Nagar, where a fire broke out in a third-floor flat, quickly engulfing the space. Officials explained that the family had left the apartment with diyas still burning, which likely ignited nearby clothing and caused the fire to spread. Firefighters were alerted at 10.34 pm., prompting the dispatch of three fire tenders to the scene. Residents evacuated as the flames intensified with one individual requiring rescue after being trapped on the same floor, unable to escape due to the intense heat. (Maxim News)
