No Casualties Reported as Workers Escape Massive Tin Shed Fire in Greater Noida
In a dramatic turn of events, all laborers stationed at the Kacheda labor camp managed to escape the raging fire without any injuries. The workers, alerted by the smell of burning gas and the sound of an explosion, quickly fled their temporary tin‑sheet homes and gathered at a safe distance.
First‑responders from the fire department and local police arrived promptly after the distress call at 10:50 p.m. Their coordinated effort ensured that evacuation routes remained clear and that the crowd was shepherded away from the danger zone.
Although the fire reduced the shelters and personal belongings to ash, the absence of human loss has been highlighted as the most significant relief by officials. The fire department has launched a forensic investigation to pinpoint the precise cause, while the police are collecting statements from survivors.
Authorities have urged construction firms to adhere to safety norms, especially regarding the use of domestic gas cylinders inside makeshift structures. The incident serves as a stark reminder of the hazards associated with overcrowded temporary housing for migrant workers.
