Thank God there were no casualties! 🙏 Scrap godowns are often fire hazards due to improper storage of materials. The municipal corporation should conduct regular safety audits of such places. #SafetyFirst

The thick black smoke in the visuals is concerning for local residents' health. Authorities should monitor air quality in surrounding areas for next few days. Hope they find the cause soon!

As someone from Vizag, I'm shocked! This area has many residential colonies nearby. Scrap dealers must follow proper fire safety norms. Our fire brigade did good work responding quickly.

Could this be an electrical short circuit? Many scrap godowns have illegal wiring. The government should make fire NOC mandatory with strict penalties for violations. Safety can't be compromised!

While relief there's no loss of life, the economic damage is huge. Many small workers depend on such godowns for livelihood. Hope authorities help them recover quickly.

The fire services deserve appreciation for preventing the fire from spreading to nearby areas. But serious question - how many more such incidents before we enforce proper zoning laws?
