Massive Fire Destroys Phulbari Construction Warehouse

A massive fire broke out early Tuesday morning at a construction company warehouse in the Sipaipara area of Phulbari, located under the Dabgram-Fulbari assembly constituency near Siliguri. The fire caused panic among local residents as thick black smoke filled the sky and was visible from several kilometers away.

Firefighting Operations and Local Response

The fire spread so quickly that a single fire engine was initially unable to control the situation, forcing authorities to send a second fire engine to the spot. Local residents questioned the firefighting operations and claimed that quicker action could have reduced the damage. People also raised questions about the lack of proper fire safety systems inside the large construction warehouse.

Police Action and Investigation

A large team from the NJP police station reached the location to control the crowd and manage the rising tension in the densely populated neighborhood. Police calmed the local residents and kept a close watch on the situation. No casualties have been reported in the incident, and the exact cause of the fire remains unknown.
