A large fire broke out in a flat at the Golden Oriel apartment complex in Puppalaguda, Manikonda. The fire started due to a short circuit, which quickly turned more dangerous when a gas cylinder exploded. This caused widespread panic among the five family members living in the flat.
Thankfully, the family escaped the burning flat before the situation worsened. However, they were in shock as the fire destroyed their home and belongings. Firefighters were called immediately and three fire engines were sent to control the fire. The firefighters worked hard for over an hour, but the intensity of the fire made it difficult to reach the flat.
Despite the firefighters’ efforts, the entire flat was destroyed. The family suffered significant losses, with the total damage estimated to be around Rs. 50 lakh. This included money, clothes, and other valuable items.
Local authorities have registered a case and are now investigating the fire to find out more details about how it started and the explosion that followed.
