KARACHI:<\/strong> A major fire that broke out at two factories in the Landhi Export Processing Zone was brought under control after a firefighting operation lasting around 16 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to fire brigade officials, the blaze was eventually brought under control after firefighters worked continuously to prevent the flames from spreading further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The affected factories contained large quantities of bales of clothing material, making the firefighting operation particularly difficult. Officials said the stored material could cause the fire to flare up again even after the main flames had been extinguished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fire brigade teams therefore continued operations at the site after bringing the blaze under control. A cooling operation was underway to ensure that hidden pockets of heat and fire were completely eliminated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officials said the presence of large clothing bales inside the factories created additional challenges because such material can continue to smoulder internally and reignite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fire broke out at two factories located within the Landhi Export Processing Zone in Karachi. Firefighters were deployed to contain the blaze and prevent it from spreading to other industrial units in the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 16-hour firefighting operation highlights the difficulty of dealing with fires in industrial facilities where large quantities of combustible materials are stored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the flames were brought under control, firefighting personnel shifted their focus to cooling the affected buildings and surrounding areas. The cooling process is considered necessary to reduce the risk of the fire reigniting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fire brigade officials have not yet provided details regarding the cause of the fire or the extent of financial losses. Further assessment of the affected factories is expected after the cooling operation is completed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Authorities will also be able to determine the full extent of damage to machinery, stock, buildings and other property once firefighters and relevant officials can safely inspect the premises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident has once again highlighted the risks associated with fires at industrial facilities, particularly factories storing large quantities of textiles and other combustible goods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For now, the immediate firefighting operation has been completed, while cooling work continues at the two affected factories to ensure that the fire does not flare up again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
