Noida High-Rise Fire: Blaze Erupts on 21st Floor

A major fire broke out on Monday at a high-rise residential apartment in Noida’s Sector 119, triggering panic among residents and prompting a large-scale emergency response. The blaze was reported on the 21st floor of the Aranya Society, following which multiple fire tenders were rushed to the spot.

Firefighters launch rescue operation

According to officials, nearly six fire engines were deployed immediately after the fire department received the alert. Firefighters launched an intensive operation to contain the flames and prevent the fire from spreading to other parts of the building.

Preliminary findings suggest the blaze may have been triggered by an explosion in an air-conditioner unit. However, officials said the exact cause will be determined after a detailed investigation.

No one trapped, cooling operations continue

Rescue teams searched the affected floor, with initial reports indicating that no residents were trapped inside the building. Fire personnel continued cooling operations while ensuring the safety of occupants.

Recent fire incidents raise concerns

The Noida fire comes amid a series of recent fire incidents in residential complexes. Earlier this month, fires were reported from two residential buildings in Noida, one in Sector 74 and another in Sector 52.

In a separate incident on Monday morning, a fire also broke out in a four-storey residential building in Delhi’s Keshav Puram area. Fire department personnel rescued three people trapped on the terrace, including two women and a man. Officials confirmed that all three were brought to safety without sustaining any injuries.
