Good to hear no casualties reported. Must have been scary for people nearby. 🙏 Heatwaves plus transformer fires are not a fun combination.
Every summer same story — transformers blowing up, power cuts, and heat exhaustion. Wondering if the power company ever does preventive maintenance? 😡
Just another day in Indian summers. At least the fire brigade acted fast. Hope no one was hurt. Stay safe everyone.
Yaar, yeh garmi khatam hi nahi ho rahi! Transformers can't take this load anymore. Need better planning from electricity department. Props to firefighters for quick response.
Important reminder to keep emergency numbers handy. With temps crossing 45°C in many places, these incidents will only increase. Government should provide better cooling shelters.
Heatwave and infrastructure failures go hand-in-hand across India. Glad the fire didn't spread. Let's hope the power supply is restored soon.
