Over the weekend, Gurugram, Haryana, India, experienced a series of fire incidents that raised alarms about fire safety in the region. The first major fire broke out at a plastic factory in Bajghera around 2 am on Sunday, where highly combustible materials like polystyrene fueled the flames. Despite workers' initial attempts to control the fire, it spread rapidly, prompting a call to authorities at 4:20 am. Approximately 12 fire tenders were deployed, and it took nearly nine hours to extinguish the blaze, which threatened nearby residential areas. The situation was complicated by the presence of unregulated factories and difficult access conditions for firefighting teams. In a separate incident late Saturday night, a fire destroyed over 100 huts in a slum cluster near Sikanderpur, likely ignited by a hut fire and exacerbated by LPG cylinder explosions. Firefighters battled the flames for around six hours. Additionally, a Gurugram Metropolitan City Bus Ltd. bus caught fire near Huda City Centre on Sunday afternoon, with the driver successfully evacuating 40 passengers before the bus was engulfed. Fortunately, no injuries were reported in any of the incidents, although the ongoing strike of firefighting personnel has strained emergency responses.
