Massive fire at Prayagraj tent godown, Fire officer RK Chaurasia shares details of the incident

Prayagraj (UP), April 19 2025 (ANI):  Fire Officer RK Chaurasia says, "We got information that fire has broken out in a tent's godown in the parade. I immediately called all the fire tankers at the fire station... The CFO also came here with me. I called for fire tankers from all the nearby districts in view of the incident. All the defence tankers have also been called. The fire is huge and its temperature is so high that we have to use shields to put it out... I have also got blisters all over my body... Extremely heavy storage in the godown caused this fire. The people there were told many times they should move all this stuff away. Cylinders were also kept there, which also exploded in the fire... Appropriate action will be taken once the fire is extinguished."
