Thank God no children were present at the time! 🙏 Schools must conduct regular fire safety audits. This is the third incident in Delhi this year. When will authorities take this seriously?

My cousin studies in a school nearby. This is so scary! The school management should be held accountable if they didn't have proper fire safety measures. Hope they investigate properly.

Fire department responded quickly - good job! But why do Delhi schools keep having these incidents? Electrical short circuits? Negligence? Need stricter enforcement of safety norms.

This is why we need more awareness about fire safety in schools. Maybe CBSE should make fire drills mandatory every month. So relieved no one was hurt though!

The car owner must be devastated. Hope the school has insurance to cover damages to neighboring properties. These private schools charge hefty fees but compromise on safety.

While we're lucky there were no casualties, we must ask - would the response have been as quick if this happened in a government school? All children's safety matters equally.
