Fire breaks out at plastic warehouse in Thiruvananthapuram’s Veli
Fire and Rescue Services rushes 12 fire engines to the spot after a night watchman alerted authorities of industrial blaze around 4 a.m.
A fire broke out early on June 25 at a plastic recycling plant warehouse at Veli, an industrial area on the outskirts of Thiruvananthapuram in Kerala.
The Fire and Rescue Services has not reported any causalities. However, the black and possibly toxic smoke billowing out of the warehouse has caused concern in the locality.
The Fire and Rescue Services rushed 12 fire engines to the spot after a night watchman alerted authorities of the industrial fire around 4 a.m. Fire officers doused the blaze using water as a fire suppressant, but large piles of plastic continued to smoulder.
Cause yet to be ascertained
The Fire and Rescue Services has yet to trace the origin or cause of the fire. They have roped in the Kerala State Electrical Inspectorate to aid the investigation.
The police have also registered a case and will likely verify whether the warehouse had fire safety clearance.
