Residents of the building quickly evacuated after the fire broke out, while emergency teams reached the site and launched firefighting operations. Authorities said a major tragedy was averted as only one person was inside the flat at the time of the incident. The presence of firefighting equipment in the building also helped contain the situation.

The incident comes a day after another major fire broke out in the B Wing of the Solitaire Building on SG Highway in Ahmedabad. The blaze spread from the third floor to the fourth and fifth floors, causing panic in the area. Preliminary investigations suggested that a short circuit may have triggered the fire. Around 50 people were rescued, while one person sustained injuries and was shifted to a hospital after receiving CPR from fire personnel.

Separately, a fire also broke out at the ‘Faith’ wax manufacturing factory in Santej near Kalol, which was later brought under control by fire officials. DeshGujarat
