A team from the fire brigade, led by Officer Jaipal Thakur, reached the scene and managed to bring the blaze under control after considerable effort.
“We received the alert around 11:30 PM and rushed to the spot,” said Officer Thakur. “The tanker had been empty and stationary for days. The cause of the fire is currently under investigation.”
According to officials, the fire destroyed a significant portion of the tanker, resulting in an estimated loss of ₹15 lakh. Thanks to the prompt response of the fire brigade, parts of the vehicle were saved.
