A fire broke out at a warehouse storing paint materials in Vetal Nagar in the Kondhwa area of Pune on Friday, leaving one person seriously injured.

Three fire tenders were rushed to the spot, and firefighting operations are underway.

One person sustained serious burn injuries in the incident.

Further details are awaited.

Earlier on June 16, in Pune, a massive fire broke out at four furniture shops in Maharashtra's Handewadi area. No loss of life was reported in the incident.

Fire Officer, Pune Fire Department, Sameer Shaikh, told ANI that the cause of the fire was being ascertained.

He said, "Despite the cause of the fire being unclear, it spread rapidly due to highly flammable materials. Firefighting operations required significant manpower, involving vehicles from five fire stations, four water tankers, and several private water bowsers."

He further added, "As per initial assessment, the fire affected four furniture-related establishments--a showroom at the front and a factory at the rear. However, an adjacent hotel and another factory were saved."

No casualties were reported. (ANI)
