Ghaziabad Fire News: Residents of Gaur Green Avenue in Indirapuram, near Delhi, were alerted on Wednesday morning when a fire broke out on the 8th floor of a high-rise building. Attributed to a short circuit, the fire moved upwards to affect the 9th, 10th, and 11th floors. Plumes of black smoke were visible from several kilometres away.
Preliminary investigations and witness statements suggest the blaze originated in a locked flat on the 8th floor. The fire caused extensive damage to household property, with furniture, electronics, and documents worth lakhs of rupees destroyed.

Firefighters are currently carrying out rescue operations within the smoke-logged corridors to ensure all occupants are evacuated.
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has taken cognisance of the incident. He has instructed district administration and fire officials to prioritise rescue efforts and ensure that medical care is provided to anyone injured.
Fire department officials have confirmed that no casualties have been reported at this stage. While the building has been fully vacated, rescue teams are conducting final checks to address concerns raised by residents regarding family members who may have been inside when the fire started.
