Thank God no casualties were reported! 🙏 The fire department did a commendable job rescuing 50 people. But seriously, how are scrap shops allowed in residential buildings? This is a disaster waiting to happen. GHMC needs stricter regulations!

As someone from Hyderabad, I'm relieved to see quick response from our fire services. But two fire incidents in one day? 🔥 We need better safety audits for commercial establishments, especially those handling flammable materials. Stay safe everyone!

The real heroes here are the firefighters who risked their lives to save others. Salute to their bravery! But authorities must investigate why these incidents keep happening. Is it negligence or lack of proper safety measures?

This is scary! 😨 I live just 2km from Mailardevpally. We need more fire stations in growing areas of Hyderabad. The population density is increasing but infrastructure isn't keeping pace. Time for civic authorities to wake up!

While we appreciate the rescue efforts, why aren't building owners held accountable? Allowing scrap shops in residential buildings is pure negligence. Heavy fines should be imposed to prevent such violations in future.

The residents must have been terrified! 😥 Thank goodness for the quick response. But this incident shows we all need to learn basic fire safety measures. Maybe GHMC can conduct workshops in residential areas?
