A massive fire broke out at a godown in Hindpidhi area of Ranchi city on Monday evening, creating fear and chaos in the area. The fire services personnel were on the job to douse the flames, as per the latest report. Locals said that a large number of plastic crates stocked in the godown caught fire and soon the flames rose tens of feet high and were visible from quite a distance. The blaze also caused partial damages to valuables, including air-conditioners and water tanks, in the neighbouring houses. The mini-fire extinguisher vehicle reached the spot through the narrow lanes and started the dousing exercise. Meanwhile, local people also removed the plastic crates from other parts of the godown to curb the spread of fire. The flames had started decreasing after a multi-faceted approach by fire services personnel and the locals. The reason for the incident is yet to be ascertained.
