A fire broke out at a restaurant in the busy Sindhi Muslim Society area on Thursday afternoon, causing panic in the surrounding area. The fire started on the first floor of the restaurant and spread to other parts of the building. People were quick to inform the authorities, and soon after, both KMC and Rescue 1122 fire tenders rushed to the scene to tackle the flames.
It took them about three hours to finally control the fire. The damage was extensive, with the restaurant’s equipment and property taking a hit. Though the fire didn’t engulf the entire building, it spread enough to cause a lot of trouble and financial losses for the restaurant owners.
What made the firefighting efforts more noteworthy was that the Deputy Mayor was there in person to oversee everything. He didn’t just sit back and watch; he stayed in touch with the firefighters and the officials throughout the ordeal, ensuring everything was being handled properly.
The local community, as well as officials, praised the quick response of the KMC and Rescue 1122 teams. Despite the long and tough battle against the fire, their timely arrival and coordination saved the restaurant from further damage. Fortunately, there have been no reports of injuries, but the owners are now left to assess the full extent of the property damage.
Incidents like this serve as a reminder of the importance of fire safety measures, especially in busy commercial areas like the Sindhi Muslim Society. Fire officials are investigating the cause of the fire, and it’s yet to be determined what exactly triggered it.
This is not the first time the city has faced such incidents, but the quick response from both the authorities and the Deputy Mayor brought a sigh of relief to the locals.
