HYDERABAD: Three people were injured in a fire that broke out at a chemical factory in Jeedimetla, on Wednesday.
According to Jeedimetla fire station officials, the mishap occured following a reactor blast. Three people who were in the vicinity of the reactor, suffered burn injuries and were shifted to hospital by the factory authorities. Meanwhile as fire started to spread, authorities called the fire department at 8.10 am.
The cause of blast is still being investigated. While the fire fighters along with a fire tender reached the spot soon to douse the flames, they had to call in three more fire tenders subsequently, since the fire was spreading fast, officials said.
“It took three hours of firefighting to bring the situation under control,” said Subhash Reddy, fire station inspector, Jeedimetla. “The mishap took place only in one of the three blocks of the factory,” added the inspector.
