                                       A Devastating Fire

Aurangabad: 29 October, 2016. Fire accidents are the worst disasters. A major fire broke out in a temporary firecrackers market set up on the occasion of Diwali in Aurangabad district on Sunday, gutting 175 stalls and 70 vehicles. Property worth 15 million rupees was charred to ashes.  It was a beautiful morning. People were just getting out of their homes for the festival shopping. Hundreds of people had just started visiting the stalls to buy crackers when all of a sudden a rocket fell on the heap of crackers at a stall. Within seconds the place was converted into a blazing inferno. A devastating fire engulfed the whole area. The people ran out of the market and saved their lives. It is no less than a miracle that not a single human causality occurred. More than 10 fire brigade tankers succeeded in dousing the fire in four hours. Poisonous smoke billowed from the market and enveloped the sky.  Local people rushed to the site for rescue operations. Police Commissioner and other senior officers visited the spot and took stock of the situation. An official inquiry has been ordered by the Mayor of the city.
