Katedan Rubber Factory Fire: Swift Action Prevents Casualties
A massive fire erupted in the early hours of Wednesday at the Tirupati Rubber Company located in Hyderabad’s Katedan Industrial Estate. The blaze, which started under mysterious circumstances, quickly engulfed the premises due to the highly flammable rubber materials stored inside. As flames leaped high into the sky, thick black smoke billowed across the surrounding area, creating panic and discomfort among local residents.
Emergency services responded swiftly to the distress call. Multiple fire engines were rushed to the site, and firefighters have been working tirelessly to bring the situation under control. The intensity of the fire made the operation challenging, especially with the toxic fumes released from burning rubber, which hampered visibility and breathing conditions for the crew on site.
Authorities have confirmed that, despite the scale of the fire, there have been no reports of casualties or injuries. Local police and disaster response teams have cordoned off the area and are monitoring air quality levels. An investigation is underway to determine the cause of the fire, while efforts continue to fully extinguish the flames and prevent any potential flare-ups.
