Hats off to the Sahibabad fire station team for quick response! But I'm still worried about that SK Homes Avantika incident. Three dogs died due to smoke inhalation? That's heartbreaking. We need better ventilation and fire escape planning in residential buildings too. Safety should be priority number one!
Glad there were no injuries in this fire. But two major incidents in Ghaziabad within a week? That's alarming. I live nearby and the smoke was visible from miles. Industrial areas need mandatory fire drills and better equipment. Also, those three dogs dying in the apartment fire is just awful. We need stricter fire safety norms for all buildings.
Respect to the firefighting team for controlling the blaze quickly. But why do we always react after a tragedy? The apartment fire last week should have been a wake-up call. Tyre factories deal with highly flammable materials - basic fire safety audits should be mandatory every quarter. Better late than never, but let's hope this leads to concrete action. 🚒
My heart goes out to those who lost their pets in the apartment fire. 💔 Fire safety awareness is seriously lacking in our country. Whether it's a factory or residential complex, we need to ensure fire extinguishers, alarms, and clear escape routes are available. The fire department did a great job today - but prevention is always better than cure.
Thankful no lives were lost in the factory fire. But reading about that apartment incident - three dogs dead? That's deeply saddening. Our rescue teams need better equipment for dealing with pets and animals too. Lives are lives. Also, the fact that two major fires happened in
