Late Night Blaze in Neredmet: One Hospitalized After Electric Meter Fire

A fire broke out late Sunday night in a residential house in Vayupuri Colony, Neredmet, Medchal-Malkajgiri district, officials stated, leaving one person unconscious. The Medchal-Malkajgiri Fire Department attributed the origin of the blaze to an electric meter, which quickly ignited surrounding structures.

Two fire vehicles and a robotics team arrived promptly, managing to control the situation. During the operation, firefighters discovered a resident unconscious inside the premises, who was swiftly transported to a nearby hospital for medical evaluation. His condition remained unclear at the time of this report.

In a similar incident last Thursday, a fire broke out early morning at a slippers shop in Swagata Grand, Jillelaguda, Rangareddy district. Firefighting teams and a robotic unit managed to contain the blaze. Fortunately, no casualties were reported, with investigators pointing to an electrical short circuit as the probable cause.
