Karachi:<\/strong> A major fire that broke out at a clothing factory in the Landhi Export Processing Zone spread to a nearby factory, causing part of the building to collapse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the rescue authorities, the fire has been classified as a third-degree fire, meaning it is serious and requires a large-scale emergency response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rescue teams are working to control the fire and prevent it from spreading to other buildings in the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officials said that 16 fire tenders, water bowsers and a snorkel are taking part in the firefighting operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Firefighters are using the available equipment to bring the flames under control. The large number of vehicles and rescue equipment shows the seriousness of the situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier, rescue officials said that three people became unwell after smoke filled the factory. However, all people inside the factory were safely evacuated from the building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There were concerns about the safety of workers because of the heavy smoke and the intensity of the fire. Rescue teams worked to remove everyone from the affected factory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sindh Rangers personnel also joined the rescue operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a spokesperson for the Sindh Rangers, Rangers personnel reached the location immediately after learning about the incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Rangers said their personnel were working alongside the fire brigade and rescue teams in emergency operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The spokesperson said that the first priority of the Rangers was to protect human lives and stop the fire from spreading further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The presence of Rangers personnel also helped support the rescue and emergency teams at the scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fire caused significant damage to the affected factory, with part of the building collapsing because of the intense heat and flames.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officials are continuing efforts to control the fire. The exact cause of the fire has not yet been confirmed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident has created a major emergency in the Landhi Export Processing Zone, where several factories and industrial buildings are located.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The spread of the fire to a second factory has increased concerns about the safety of nearby buildings and workers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Firefighters are therefore working carefully to contain the flames and prevent them from reaching other factories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah has also taken notice of the fire at the clothing factory in Landhi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The chief minister directed the authorities to send additional fire brigade vehicles and necessary rescue equipment to the site immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The instructions were issued to strengthen the emergency response and help firefighters bring the situation under control as quickly as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The authorities are using fire tenders, water bowsers and other equipment to fight the flames.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rescue workers are also monitoring the damaged building because part of the factory has already collapsed. A damaged structure can pose additional risks to firefighters and other people working at the site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officials will likely assess the building once the fire is fully controlled to determine the extent of the damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident highlights the importance of fire safety in industrial areas, particularly in factories where large numbers of workers may be present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Factories need proper fire safety equipment, emergency exits and evacuation plans to protect workers during emergencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this case, rescue officials said that all people were evacuated from the factory after the fire broke out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The three people who became unwell because of smoke were also reported earlier by rescue officials. Their condition was linked to the heavy smoke inside the factory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emergency teams are continuing their work at the location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Sindh Rangers said they would continue supporting the rescue operation and assisting the fire brigade and other emergency services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The main focus remains on protecting human lives, controlling the fire and preventing further damage to nearby buildings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The authorities have not yet provided a final estimate of the financial losses caused by the fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are expected to investigate the incident after the firefighting operation is completed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cause of the fire and the total extent of the damage will become clearer after a detailed assessment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For now, firefighters and rescue teams remain at the site, working to bring the major fire under control and ensure that the area remains safe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
