Raipur: As a fire broke out unexpectedly at the Raipur railway station, the passengers were startled and frightened to discover themselves in burning conditions. Travelers watched the fire, left their belongings, and hurriedly left the burning scene. The railway staff arrived immediately and worked all out to gain fire extinguishing control at the closest possible time. However, the event did not result in fatalities, as there were no injuries reported. The presumed reason for the fire is a wiring problem.
The station platform reports that first-class passengers were looking forward to their trains on platform number one at the railway station. The almost lightning-fast appearance of black clouds triggered evacuation in no time. Rail police act upon the first notification even after a second. In conjunction with the crew that had already been dispatched from the roof, a firefighter went to the roof through the fire system’s routes and eventually managed to control the fire.
The fire brigade was also alerted and dispatched a unit to the scene. However, the railway team’s efficiency ensured that they swiftly brought the situation under control. The incident occurred around 9 p.m. on Sunday night. It is speculated that the fire originated from a short circuit in the air conditioning system.
The prompt reaction of the railway officials and emergency respondents avoided any accident or severe damage to the station. This particular incident is just a reminder of how smoothly emergency plans should be made for security measures. Investigators are currently determining the exact cause of the short circuit to ensure that appropriate safety measures are put in plan to prevent the reoccurrence. Travelers will be advised to raise their level of awareness and comply with transportation security measures in order to make their trip smooth and free of incidents.
