Teen kutte fire ke chakkar mein mare gaye, Ghaziabad apartment complex mein aag lagne se; residents ko surakshit tarike se evacuate kiya gaya

Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh mein ek residential apartment mein aag lagne se teen pet dogs ki maut ho gayi. Ye fire Tuesday ko subah ke samay mein erupt hua tha, jiske baad local fire services ne jaldi se respond kiya aur sabhi residents ko bina kisi chot ke evacuate kar liya. Is incident ne phir se urban residential buildings mein fire safety protocols ke chakkar mein chinta paida kar di hai. Ghaziabad Fire Department ke officials ke mutabik, fire ki report 4:30 AM ke karib Raj Nagar Extension area mein ek multi-storey apartment complex ke second-floor flat mein aayi thi. Firefighters ne kuch hi minute mein pahunch kar flames ko lagbhag do ghante tak ladai ki aur situation ko control mein kiya. Haalaanki koi human casualty report nahi hui, lekin intense heat aur smoke ke kaaran teen dogs jo affected flat ke andar the, unki maut ho gayi. Local residents ne bataya ki unhone kabhi na dekhe hue black smoke ko corridors mein dekha aur jaldi se evacuate kiya. “Hum log smoke ki smell se uth gaye aur dekha ki ek flat se flames aa rahe the,” kaha Rakesh Sharma, jo isi building ka resident hai. “Humne turant sabko alert kiya aur unki madad ki taaki ve bahar aa sakein. Fire department jaldi pahunch gayi, lekin dogs ke liye bahut der ho chuki thi.” Society ke RWA president ne confirm kiya ki pets unattended chhod diye gaye the jab fire shuru hua. Fire officials ka kehna hai ki electrical short circuit probable cause ho sakta hai, aur unhone residents ko regular safety audits karne aur electrical circuits ko overload na karne ki salah di. “Prevention key hai,” kaha Station Officer Anil Kumar. “Hum log residents ko fire safety measures ke bare mein sensitize kar rahe hain, jisme fire extinguishers ka use aur safe evacuation practices shaamil hain.” Building ke management ne affected pet owners ke liye ₹25,000 ka compensation announce kiya hai. Is incident ne social media par outrage paida kar diya hai, jahaan animal rights activists stricter laws aur rented accommodations mein pet safety ke liye demand kar rahe hain. Animal welfare organizations ne residential societies mein mandatory fire safety training aur sabhi apartments mein smoke detectors install karne ki appeal ki hai.
