A fire erupted at a chemical factory located in Haroonabad in Karachi’s SITE on Saturday morning.
According to reports, five fire trucks have reached the site and are trying to douse the blaze. Officials have declared the fire third-grade which is extremely dangerous.
“The fire is out of control because there’s a huge amount of petrol and paint thinner inside the factory which is fueling the blaze,” a fire officer said. Explosions can be heard from inside the building as well, he added.
Following this, neighbouring factories and a petrol pump in the area have been evacuated.
The Karachi Water and Sewerage Board has imposed an emergency at fire hydrants in the city and fire stations have been alerted. Police have reached the site as well.
So far no injuries or casualties have been reported.
