Residents of Greater Noida faced panic on Friday night after a fire broke out near the boundary of Noida International Airport, sending black smoke billowing into the sky. The incident occurred in the Jevan area, causing widespread fear among locals. The fire department and police were immediately alerted, and a large team arrived to douse the flames. However, poor road conditions and blocked routes delayed firefighting efforts, as emergency vehicles struggled to reach the scene.
In a joint operation, firefighters and local police worked for hours to extinguish the blaze. Despite their efforts, the fire spread to multiple areas due to nearby flammable materials. Firefighters relied on pipes from a distance to control the situation. At one point, authorities reported that emergency services were unable to get close enough to the fire because of traffic disruptions caused by the incident.
“We are investigating the cause of the fire,” said a senior police officer. The administration has launched a formal inquiry into the incident and will take action once the investigation concludes. Initial reports indicate that no casualties or injuries were reported during the event.
Fire brigade officials noted that the flames rose high into the air, heightening panic among residents. Police urged people to stay indoors for safety. The chaos unfolded as temperatures rise, coinciding with a surge in fire incidents across the region.
Residents near the airport cited poor infrastructure as a major obstacle to emergency services. “Roads near the airport are not properly maintained, and heavy traffic often disrupts access,” said a local official. The fire department emphasized the need for better coordination to handle such emergencies efficiently.
This incident marks another alarming addition to the series of fire-related events in Greater Noida. Authorities are urging residents to cooperate with emergency services to ensure public safety.
