Our Take: Fire Safety at Warehouses Needs Urgent Attention
This incident in Rewari is a serious reminder of how quickly fires can spread in warehouses storing flammable materials like plywood. The fact that five labourers sleeping just outside the building had to wake up and run for their lives shows how close this came to tragedy. In our view, authorities must investigate the cause of this fire thoroughly and ensure that all warehouses in the area follow strict fire safety protocols.
