One Dead, One Injured in Greater Noida Wood-Cutting Shop Fire
Something caught fire at a small wood-cutting workshop in a place called Greater Noida in India.
The workshop was very small, only about 12 feet by 10 feet.
Two men, Altamas and Aman, were sleeping inside when the fire started.
Firefighters and police arrived quickly and cut off the electricity before rescuing them.
The men were brought out unconscious and taken to a hospital.
Sadly, Altamas died while doctors were treating him.
Aman was moved to a bigger hospital in Delhi and is now doing okay.
