Fierce Blaze Erupts Inside Mattress Warehouse in Moradabad’s Katghar Area

According to local accounts, the fire began abruptly and escalated within minutes, posing a severe threat to nearby houses tightly packed along the narrow lanes. With the blaze advancing and emergency services yet to arrive, residents attempted to douse the flames themselves in a desperate effort to prevent the fire from consuming additional structures.

The police and fire department were still en route at the time residents first began their firefighting attempts, prompting growing concern over potential property damage and the safety of those living close to the warehouse.

The incident underscores the heightened vulnerability of congested urban pockets, where commercial storage units operate in close proximity to residential buildings. As authorities work to control the fire and assess the aftermath, the episode highlights the urgent need for stricter safety measures and swift emergency responsiveness in such high-risk zones.
