A fire that spread through a pulse-storage warehouse in Narela’s Bhorgarh Industrial Area was brought under control after around two hours on Sunday, with 10 fire tenders deployed to prevent the blaze from reaching nearby buildings. No casualties have been reported, while the cause of the fire and the extent of property loss remain under investigation.
The fire broke out at a warehouse in J Block of the industrial area. The Delhi Fire Services received information about the incident at 11:10 am and sent 10 fire tenders to the site. Firefighters worked for nearly two hours before bringing the blaze under control.
According to the report, the fire spread beyond the ground floor to the first and second floors of the warehouse. Pulses and other goods were stored inside the building, and a substantial loss of stored material is suspected. However, the damage assessment had not been completed at the time of reporting.
Local police reached the site after receiving information about the incident. Firefighters focused on containing the flames and stopping them from spreading to surrounding buildings in the industrial area. The operation continued for about two hours before the fire was fully controlled.
The incident highlights the operational risks faced by storage facilities located within dense industrial areas, where fire can spread across multiple floors and threaten adjoining properties. In this case, the warehouse contained combustible stored goods, but the supplied report does not establish whether the fire was linked to an electrical fault, storage conditions, machinery or any other specific cause.
The fire department and police are investigating how the blaze began. The agencies involved are also working to assess the damage caused to the warehouse and its contents. No official estimate of the financial loss has been released.
The report did not mention any disruption to roads, nearby businesses or public services in the Bhorgarh Industrial Area. It also did not identify the warehouse owner or provide details of the building’s permissions, fire-safety systems or occupancy status. Those details may become relevant as the investigation progresses.
The immediate firefighting response has ended, but the next formal steps are the determination of the cause of the fire and completion of the damage assessment. Authorities have not yet announced the findings of either process.
