Updated: Jun 21st, 2024
Only a day after a fire incident due to a short circuit at Sir Sayajirao General Hospital (SSG), shops were engulfed in flames at Vadodara’s Raopura Main Road which broke into fire this morning.
Near a tower on Raopura Main Road, a fire broke out due to unknown reasons, spreading rapidly to four to five shops across three floors of the building. The intense blaze created a tense atmosphere throughout the area, leading people to evacuate.
Vadodara Fire Brigade initiated the efforts to control the fire using water and foam, eventually bringing it under control after five hours. However, cooling operations are still ongoing.
Due to the rapid spread of the fire, the electricity supply was cut off by the authorities. Moreover, police are investigating the incident. The main road from Raopura Station and Jubilee Baug was closed for vehicular movements.
The police attempted to manage traffic using alternative routes and diversions.
No casualties have been reported yet.
