A huge fire erupted at a wood warehouse in Karachi’s Rais Goth area near Hub River Road on Monday, charring a large pile of logs before being brought under control after an intense 13-hour operation.
According to a Rescue 1122 spokesperson, the firefighting effort was particularly challenging as the nearest water hydrant was located far from the site.
The spokesperson added that while the blaze was extinguished on one side, it repeatedly flared up on the other, making containment efforts difficult.
Fortunately, no loss of life was reported in the incident.
Seven fire tenders, two browsers, and a snorkel took part in the rescue operation, which brought the fire under control. The cooling process is underway.
