A devastating fire broke out late on Saturday night at a commercial complex in Ghaziabad, causing widespread destruction. While firefighters managed to control the blaze, by then, all 12 air conditioning (AC) units in the premises had exploded with loud bangs. According to sources, people present at the scene reported hearing sharp explosion sounds after the fire started, confirming the AC units had burst.
Local residents and shopkeepers stated that the fire began around 10:30 PM. Initial assessments suggest that a short circuit caused an electrical wire to overheat, which then entered a nearby AC unit, triggering a massive explosion. All 12 AC units in the complex caught fire and exploded, sending shockwaves through the surrounding area. Firefighters managed to bring the blaze under control after nearly two hours of relentless efforts.
