Hyderabad fire: Hyderabad got hit with some serious fires on Friday. Two different blazes ripped through commercial places in Ameerpet and Masab Tank. It took a big effort from fire engines and emergency crews to get everything under control. Luckily, though the property damage looks bad, no one was hurt at either spot. In Ameerpet, a huge fire hit a helmet bazaar. It panicked shopkeepers and customers. With how flammable helmets are, you can imagine how fast the flames spread to other shops.

Just when things seemed like they might slow down, another fire struck in Masab Tank. This time, it was a warehouse. Flames and thick smoke poured out. To handle it, three fire trucks and the Disaster Response Force showed up to fight the flames and make sure nobody got trapped.
They kept the fire from collapsing the whole building. It was intense, but the teams managed to gain control.
Three firefighting vehicles sped to the scene to fight the thick smoke and flames coming from the warehouse. Because of the risky situation, local police and specialized teams from the Disaster Response Force, or DRF, were sent to handle the perimeter, evacuate nearby people, and help with firefighting. The firefighters got the situation at Masab Tank under control before the structure gave way.
Safety worries are ramping up following a recent fire at a furniture shop in Hayathnagar. This happened just weeks ago and came right before the fires on Friday. On May 14th, another intense fire hit a furniture shop in Hayathnagar, freaking out the entire local area.
Two fire engines were dispatched to tackle that blaze, which took hours to put out. Early guesses say it began because of an electrical short circuit.
Inspectors plan to do thorough checks at all three spots to understand exactly what caused the fires and figure out the total damage and financial loss.
