A devastating fire broke out at an electronic chip manufacturing unit in Noida’s Ecotech-3 industrial area late on Monday night, resulting in the loss of two firefighters’ lives and injuring three others. The incident occurred at the ILGIM company, where a massive blaze engulfed the premises, prompting the deployment of at least six fire brigade vehicles to the scene. As firefighters attempted to extinguish the flames, a sudden collapse of a wall and an iron beam inside the factory left five of them injured.
The injured firefighters were immediately rushed to a hospital by ambulance, where two of them, Rohit Yadav and Tirathpal Singh, succumbed to their injuries. The three other injured firefighters, Rajpal Singh, Manish Kumar, and Amit Kumar, are undergoing treatment and their condition is stated to be out of danger. Senior police officers, accompanied by a team of the State Disaster Response Force (SDRF), are currently present at the scene, overseeing the situation and investigating the cause of the fire.
Necessary legal action is being taken in response to the incident, according to the police.
