This is happening too often in industrial areas. Godowns storing flammable materials like mattresses and PVC need stricter safety audits. The authorities should enforce fire safety norms more rigorously. No casualties this time is pure luck.

I'm visiting Surat for work and saw the smoke from a distance. It looked terrifying. Huge respect to the firefighters working through the night. Hope they manage to contain it fully soon.

Wooden items for weddings... right before the season. What a huge financial loss for the owner. This is why insurance is so important for businesses, especially in such dense areas like Katargam.

The real heroes are the 50 fire personnel. Working with such dangerous materials, they risk their lives. Salute to them! 🇮🇳 Hope they all stay safe and get the job done without any issues.

While the response seems good, we must ask why these godowns are allowed to operate in residential/ dense areas without proper fire breaks and safety measures. This is a wake-up call for the municipal corporation.
