A fire broke out at a private company manufacturing anti-drone testing equipment in Hyderabad’s Madhapur area on Sunday evening, prompting a response from police and three fire tenders. The blaze was brought under control after around two hours, and no casualties were reported.
According to police, the fire was first noticed by security personnel and local people, who alerted the company’s management. Police reached the premises after receiving information and informed the fire department.
Three fire tenders from nearby fire stations then arrived at the site and began firefighting operations. Officials said the fire was brought under control after a couple of hours. No injuries or deaths were reported in the incident.
Police said the electricity supply to the premises had been suspended on Saturday for transformer repair work. The interruption is suspected to have affected the facility’s cooling system, which may have caused batteries to overheat and catch fire. Officials, however, said the exact cause of the blaze had not yet been established.
The incident occurred at a facility involved in manufacturing anti-drone testing equipment, making the site’s battery and cooling systems part of the initial line of inquiry. The available information does not establish whether the fire was confined to a particular section of the premises or whether any equipment beyond the suspected battery-related source was affected.
The response also involved coordination between local residents or security staff, the police and the fire department. The prompt alert enabled emergency services to reach the premises and begin operations, while the power supply issue was relevant to the preliminary assessment of what may have triggered the blaze.
Officials had not yet completed an assessment of the extent of property damage when the report was published. The cause of the fire will require further examination of the facility, its electrical systems, the cooling arrangements and the batteries involved.
The fire department’s operations ended after the blaze was brought under control. Police and other officials are expected to determine the final cause and assess damage to the company’s premises and equipment.
