00:00Massive fire has broken out in a cooler manufacturing factory.
00:05Another unit catching fire more than two hours. The fire is still out of control.
00:10We are telling you about this from Surajpur in Greater Noida.
00:15Bulldozers have been brought in to breach the walls for access to fire control vehicles.
00:20The sky has turned completely black in Greater Noida due to the smoke.
00:24Half a dozen fire engines have been engaged in extinguishing the fire.
00:29The fire was suspected to have started due to fault in the wiring.
00:33No one was injured in this fire.
00:59It will take a long time to extinguish the fire.
01:29We are at a cooler factory in Noida's Surajpur area.
01:35More than 15 workers here are fear trapped inside.
01:40This is Surajpur I understand.
01:42Pictures are from the location in Greater Noida where efforts are on to douse the fire.
01:49The wiring fault has led to the fire is what we know.
01:53Ashutosh Mishra is with us for the latest.
01:56Ashutosh horrific pictures are coming in.
01:59Just tell us what does it look like? Are there workers trapped inside?
02:03Do you have any confirmation on that?
02:08So far the information is that we have nearly dozens of firefighters struggling to douse the fire.
02:15Reportedly the moment the fire triggered in the first factory most of these workers left out.
02:20There was a sense of panic and they immediately left.
02:23Now eventually as we see the high wind speed today that also supported the fire and the flames.
02:28Within 30 minutes not just one but 2, 3, 4 and nearly 5 factories in this entire compound caught into the fire.
02:36As now we see totally smoke in the air.
02:39Everything looking black around.
02:41More than a dozen firefighters are now struggling.
02:43Look at this side.
02:44One this side the fire anti-fire protector suits.
02:47These firefighters are now controlling to douse the flame at least.
02:50And on the other side because eventually it was to 5 started spreading out to be another compound.
02:55Because this is all industrial unit lines and where you have a flammable substances all around.
03:01So this was one a cooler building factory.
03:03Eventually for the coolers you have a plastic materials and then there is a furniture factory.
03:08So clearly everything that is available around the fire and the flame is actually the flammable.
03:12And that is eventually along with the high wind speed.
03:15Look at this scary smoke all over.
03:17It's been more than 2 hours now Sneha.
03:19As we have been seeing through from the core premises area for the another.
03:24Now look at this.
03:25The protector suit that these firefighters are wearing.
03:28This is eventually because they will be making in roads to enter inside the premises.
03:32And until and unless they totally control on the flames.
03:35There will be possibility and the threat further to catch fire in the another.
03:39And all the flammable elements that are lying inside.
03:43Reportedly when the fire caught most of the people had left.
03:46Dozens of the firefighters are struggling.
03:48And now as we see look at this.
03:49That's one unit with the fire factory inside 5 around.
03:52And clearly as the fire is spreading to the another areas.
03:55More and more units are actually in the threat of getting caught in this fire.
04:01And clearly what this is making difficult for the firefighters.
04:05One after one.
04:06Earlier it was only half a dozen of these firefighters.
04:09Now we see the number is increasing.
04:11More men forwards are being roped in.
04:13The bulldozer has been caught in just in case to make a way.
04:16For the firefighters to make access.
04:19And look at on the other side.
04:20The scary flames are coming out.
04:22And this is looks like the another unit.
04:24The factory unit.
04:25The commercial area is getting caught into the fire.
04:28So now we have the police.
04:29And maximum number of the firefighters who are here at the site.
04:33To douse the fire.
04:34To control over the fire.
04:35And the situation has been really out of control.
04:37At least for 2 hours it has been.
04:39Nearly dozens of the firefighters are struggling.
04:41And still they have not been able to make any success.
04:44What we say you know a sight of relief is.
04:47That clearly there was no workers possibly who could be trapped inside.
04:51Because one when notice there was sense of alarm.
04:54Sense of panic.
04:56And almost all these workers at the site.
04:58Left immediately.
05:00This industrial side.
05:02And nearly 15 to 20 minutes.
05:04Because there is a high wind speed.
05:06And that supported along with the flammable substances.
05:08That were inside.
05:10And also the raw materials that were lying.
05:12All around this industrial unit.
05:14So that was catching.
05:16The fire substances along with the wind speed.
05:18And that picked up the.
05:20That really picked up the flame.
05:22All around this area.
05:24But still the struggle continues.
05:26The number of firefighters are increasing.
05:28Number of fire engines are increasing.
05:30And so is the flame as we see.
05:32The periphery.
05:34One industrial unit periphery is being breached.
05:36On the another side.
05:38We see the another unit is also on the verge of getting caught.
05:40By this massive massive fire.
05:42Breaks out in the industrial area.
05:44Of Surajpur in greater Noida.
05:46These are the live images.
05:48As we see the firefighters are struggling.
05:50One to another point.
05:52The first is to control the flame.
05:54Because once you stop burning of the.
05:56The flammable substances.
05:58And also the raw material that is inside.
06:00Only it will be able to control the fire.
06:02And now as we see.
06:04Five minutes ago there was only a smoke.
06:06And now because the flame is so high.
06:08And so is the smoke.
06:10That we see the smoke is actually covering the flame.
06:12And now as we take the camera and the pan to a side.
06:14Look at this.
06:16The entire skyline is now being covered.
06:18With a thick smoke.
06:20And what is has been a sight of relief.
06:22For the people here.
06:24Sneha those have been living alongside.
06:26Because there is a wind speeder.
06:28Which is going totally on the opposite side.
06:30Had it been on the reverse way.
06:32Or the other side.
06:34Clearly hundreds of these local.
06:36Would have been affected by such a dark.
06:38And a black smoke.
06:40And people would have been really.
06:42Suffering for breathing.
06:44And now as we see.
06:46This explains the furious fire.
06:48Looks like another unit finally has caught fire.
06:50So while the fire fighters are struggling.
06:52To control the fire in certain areas.
06:54The fire is increasing.
06:56And now taking catch to.
06:58The more and more commercial units.
07:00Which are just along in this industrial area.
07:02So earlier it were four to five.
07:04Looks like more and more units are.
07:06Getting grip of this fire Sneha.
07:08Okay I am going to thank you for the moment.
07:10Ashutosh Mishra getting us up to speed.

07:18Has caught fire.
07:20Attempts to douse the fire.
07:22Let us see on your screens right now.
