Noida, June 29: Six fire engines rushed to the Aranya Society in Sector 119 after a dramatic blaze erupted on the 21st floor of the high-rise tower. The fire, which generated heavy smoke visible from a distance, quickly breached the initial apartment and impacted a neighboring unit. Firefighters worked swiftly to douse the flames and secure the residential complex, which falls under the Sector-113 police station area.
Local monitoring teams affirmed that the situation was brought under control without any loss of life or injuries. “An apparent air conditioner explosion caused the immediate outbreak, triggering intense panic among the families living in the block,” maintained a security official involved in the coordination. A thorough technical review is being conducted to establish the precise sequence of events.
The high-rise emergency followed closely on the heels of another early morning fire in northwest Delhi’s Keshav Puram neighborhood. That particular blaze started on the ground floor of a four-storey building, trapping several occupants upstairs as smoke filled the stairwell.
Rescuers focused on a terrace evacuation to safely retrieve three residents, named as twenty-eight-year-old Gaurav, twenty-five-year-old Kaira, and fifty-five-year-old Indu Batra. A Delhi Fire Service representative declared that the fire was strictly limited to twenty-four electricity meters on the ground level. The official added that the entire operation concluded successfully by 2:30 AM, though the exact origin of the electrical malfunction is still being examined by specialists.
