Kharadi, 8th May 2024: Today at 02:11 PM, the Pune Fire Brigade sprang into action following reports of a fire outbreak at a godown situated in the vicinity of Shinde Dairy, Kharadi, Pune. A total of 7 vehicles, including water tankers dispatched from Yerwada, Dhanori, Hadapsar, and headquarters, along with a water bowser from the PMRDA fire brigade, were immediately mobilized to the scene.
Upon arrival, firefighters were met with a daunting sight as flames engulfed the godown premises, consuming a variety of materials including handcarts, cylinders, tyres, and food stalls.
