Fire at godown hits traffic on NH-8 in Vapi
Updated: 2016-04-24-07:19
Vehicular traffic moved at a slow speed on National Highway 8 (NH-8) near Morai village in Vapi on Saturday evening because of a fire that had gutted the scrap godowns there a day earlier.
Vapi fire department sources said the fire that was doused on Friday, again erupted in one of the godowns for some unknown reasons. At least three Casurina trees also caught fire in the evening.
Since the scrap godowns are located close to the NH-8, movement of vehicular traffic got slowed down in the evening for more than two hours. The vehicles were allowed to pass at a slow speed in a single lane to avert any untoward incident. Sources said fire tenders have been deployed at the spot to control the fire and check for the faults that led to its eruption again.
