Fire at Greater Noida CNC Shop Kills Worker, Another Critical
This story is about a fire that happened very early in the morning in a town in India called Greater Noida.
The fire started at a shop where machines cut wood, called a CNC wood-cutting shop.
Two workers named Altamash and Aman were inside the shop when the fire started.
Brave firefighters rescued both of them, but they were unconscious.
Sadly, doctors said Altamash had died.
Aman was seriously hurt and was sent to a big hospital in Delhi called Safdarjung Hospital.
