Rajasthan Resort Fire: Luxury Tents Burn, Tourists Safely Evacuated
A big fire started at a resort near the famous sand dunes in Rajasthan late one night.
The fire spread really fast because of the wind, burning up several tents that were like fancy hotel rooms.
Luckily, all the people staying there, both from India and other countries, were outside watching a show when the fire began.
Because they were already safe outside, everyone got out without getting hurt.
People who lived nearby and the resort workers tried to put out the fire with water and sand before the firefighters came.
The fire burned some tents completely and damaged others, along with everything inside.
It might have started from an electrical problem, but they are still figuring out the exact reason.
This event highlights how important it is for all the resorts in that sandy area to be safe from fires.
A fire erupted at a resort near Rajasthan's Sam Sand Dunes late Thursday night.
Strong desert winds caused the fire to spread rapidly, gutting five luxury tents and partially damaging others.
All domestic and foreign tourists staying at the resort were safely evacuated with no reported casualties.
Local residents and resort staff used water tankers and sand to help control the blaze before the fire brigade arrived.
A preliminary investigation suggests a short circuit as the likely cause, with the FSL team called in for further examination.
