Frequent fire mishaps involving various kinds of establishments in the city throw light on the need to bring more structures in the ambit of fire safety norms.
It was only providence and the alertness of Fire Department staff that saved a number of lives from being snuffed out in Saturday’s Raidurgam fire accident.
About 14 persons are said to have been rescued by firemen from the second floor of the structure, which also housed an IT firm in the top most floor. The whole of second floor is reported to have been badly charred in the mishap, indicating the severity. The latest incident comes two months after the devastating fire accident in Bhoiguda, in which all the 12 occupants of the building died, 11 on the spot and one a month later in hospital.
