Uttarakhand: Fire breaks out inside Army Camp in Joshimath; dousing operations underway

A major fire erupted inside an Army camp store in Joshimath, Uttarakhand. Fire tenders are on site. No casualties reported. Details awaited.

Chamoli, January 2

A massive fire broke out in a store located inside an Army camp on the Auli Road in Joshimath in Chamoli district on Friday.

The fire tenders are currently on site, working to contain the blaze.

Further details are awaited in the incident.

Earlier, a massive fire broke out following a short circuit in an outhouse located on the premises of BD Pandey Hospital in Nainital on Wednesday, reducing an old warehouse to ashes and gutting around half a dozen two-wheelers parked nearby.

According to eyewitnesses, the fire spread rapidly, and the warehouse inside the outhouse was destroyed within a short time.

Residents immediately informed the fire department after noticing the incident. However, before fire tenders could reach the spot, the warehouse, along with three scooters and three motorcycles parked along the roadside, had already been reduced to ashes.

Fire department personnel reached the site and, after strenuous efforts, brought the fire under control. Officials said timely containment of the blaze helped avert a major incident in the area.

An investigation is underway to ascertain the exact cause of the fire. No casualties have been reported in the incident.

This is the second fire incident in Uttarakhand this week? First the hospital warehouse, now an army camp. Is there an issue with electrical safety audits in the region? Authorities need to be more proactive.

Joshimath is already ecologically sensitive. A fire in an army camp could be very serious. Hoping the fire tenders control it before it spreads to the surrounding forest area. Jai Hind to our forces handling the situation.

Short circuits in winter are common due to heating appliances, but in sensitive installations like army camps, there should be zero compromise on fire safety. This is a wake-up call for proper maintenance.

My cousin is posted in that area. Feeling so anxious until we get more details. The article says it's a store, hopefully no ammunition was kept there. Praying for everyone's safety.

Respectfully, while we praise the responders, we must also ask why these incidents keep happening. The Nainital fire also destroyed vehicles. Is there a shortage of fire stations in the hills? Infrastructure needs investment.
