In Baripada, a small town in Odisha, a fire incident occurred on Monday at the zonal office building of a public sector bank. According to an official, three individuals were injured in the incident. The fire was first noticed around 1 pm and soon after, two fire tenders were called in to control the blaze.
The three-storey office building was filled with thick smoke, making it difficult for the injured to be rescued. However, with the help of the fire department, they were successfully brought out of the building. Unfortunately, they were in an unconscious state at the time of rescue. The injured were immediately taken to PRM Medical College and Hospital in the town, where they are now in stable condition.
The fire is believed to have originated from the canteen on the third floor of the building, specifically the Bank of India's zonal office canteen. The cause of the fire is still unknown, but an investigation has been launched to determine the exact reason behind the incident.
It took nearly three hours for the firefighters to completely extinguish the flames. The operation was not an easy one as the office building was engulfed in thick smoke, making it difficult for the firefighters to navigate through. However, they were able to successfully control the fire and prevent it from spreading to other parts of the building.
Thankfully, all the other individuals present in the office at the time of the incident were able to evacuate safely. The fire and emergency services officer Bhabendra Nath Dey mentioned that the situation could have been much worse if proper safety measures were not in place. The incident serves as a reminder for all organizations to prioritize fire safety in their buildings.
