Earlier, a fire erupted in a closed factory in Delhi's Deoli area on Wednesday morning, with officials suspecting that it may have been deliberately set on fire. They also said there was a possibility that a firecracker caused the blaze, as wooden pieces were lying around the site.
Speaking to ANI, Fire Station Officer Vinay Kumar said, "We received a call reporting a fire inside a warehouse in Deoli Village. When we arrived, we found a closed factory, approximately 2,000 square feet in area, and the wood and debris inside were on fire... It appears to have been a furniture factory. When we went inside, we saw wooden items lying around, including small pieces. This suggests this was a wood factory. We have a total of three fire tenders on hand for this fire call... We suspect someone deliberately set it, as there's no electrical supply inside. Another possibility is that a firecracker may have fallen, causing the fire... There's no loss of life or property..."
