Twin Fire Incidents in Delhi's Karol Bagh and Bawana
Two big fires happened in Delhi on Wednesday morning.
One was in a paying guest (PG) building in Karol Bagh, and the other was in a factory in Bawana.
Firefighters and police quickly went to both places to put out the fires and help people.
No one was hurt, but the cause of the fires is still not known.
The fires were serious, and many firefighting units were sent to control them.
The Karol Bagh building had a PG on the upper floors and a shoe factory on the ground floor.
The Bawana factory made helmets and had a lot of plastic inside, which made the fire spread quickly.
Two major fire incidents reported in Delhi on Wednesday morning.
First incident in Karol Bagh PG accommodation, second in Bawana factory.
No casualties reported in either incident.
Firefighting and rescue operations underway at both locations.
Cause of the fires not yet determined.
