“When the fire service unit were alerted about the blaze, six water tenders were immediately sent to the spot. Additionally, four more vehicles were sent to meet any requirement,” Mr Choubey said.
“However, the fire was doused using the service of three vehicles only. The fire broke out due to a blast in indoor unit of an AC in the company,” the CFO said.
He said some company workers were on duty at the time of the incident but no body suffered any injuries in the episode.
An “AC blast” generally refers to an explosion or fire involving an air conditioning (AC) unit. Such incidents can occur due to various factors, often related to electrical or mechanical failures, according to officials.
The officials have also urged people to not run their ACs continuously for long durations in order to prevent any mishap in the prevailing extreme hot weather conditions.
