Katraj, 14th October 2023: A nine-year-old girl was successfully rescued by firefighters after being trapped in a blaze that broke out in a flat at Nancy Lake Home, located opposite Bharti Vidyapeeth in Katraj. The fire, which started around midnight, saw rapid action from the fire brigade, deploying a total of four vehicles and a rescue van from various stations.
Upon arriving at the scene, firefighters observed a large fire engulfing the second-floor flat. They quickly began to douse the flames from all angles. During their operation, they heard screams from a young girl, aged 9, who was trapped in an iron grill window.
