According to the information available, fire department personnel rushed to the spot soon after receiving an alert. They deployed two fire tenders to tackle the fire. The teams brought the blaze under control within an hour. Meanwhile, firefighters focused on stopping the flames from spreading to nearby buildings. As a result, officials avoided further damage in the residential area around the service centre.
As a precaution, officials evacuated families living close to the affected site. Nearly 90 families moved out of their homes temporarily to ensure their safety. Later, authorities monitored the area to check for any risk of the fire reigniting. The evacuation remained a key step in preventing injuries or loss of life during the fire accident in Attapur.
