Ahmedabad: A fire broke out in a wheelchair godown located behind the GSTV office near the ISKCON Temple this afternoon, prompting a swift response from the fire department. Eight fire tenders and around 40 personnel were deployed to control the blaze.
Chief Fire Officer Amit Dongre said the department received an alert from GSTV, and teams immediately rushed to the spot. The fire was brought under control after sustained firefighting efforts, and no injuries were reported in the incident.
