A major fire broke out at a commercial complex in Hyderabad’s busy Ameerpet area on Thursday, triggering panic among office workers and local businesses. Thick plumes of smoke were seen billowing from the multi-storey building as flames spread across several floors. According to initial reports, the fire started around half an hour before emergency teams arrived at the scene. The complex houses multiple offices, software training institutes, startups, and small businesses, making it one of the busiest commercial hubs in the city. Several fire tenders were immediately deployed to control the blaze, while police and emergency personnel cordoned off the area to ensure public safety. Eyewitnesses reported that smoke quickly engulfed parts of the building, prompting occupants to evacuate. Authorities have stated that the fire appears to have originated on the ground floor, causing heavy smoke to spread through the structure. Fortunately, preliminary information suggests that most people managed to exit the building safely after noticing the smoke. As of now, no casualties or injuries have been officially reported, though rescue teams continue to inspect the premises as a precaution. The incident comes on a day when multiple fire-related emergencies were reported across the country, raising fresh concerns about fire safety standards in commercial and public buildings. Officials are investigating the cause of the fire, and a detailed assessment of property damage will be conducted once the blaze is fully brought under control.
