Two fires in Noida: 15 rescued in Sector 52, flats gutted in Sector 75 high-rise blaze

Noida witnessed two major fire incidents on Friday, with a blaze breaking out at a commercial complex in Sector 52 and another engulfing flats in a high-rise residential tower in Sector 75. Officials said no casualties were reported in either incident.

The first fire was reported at a commercial complex near Shatabdi Vihar under Sector 24 police station limits on Friday morning. The building houses a restaurant on the ground floor and a paying guest (PG) facility on the upper floors.

Chief Fire Officer Pradeep Kumar said 15 people were rescued safely after the blaze broke out.

“Immediately after receiving the information, fire service units and local police reached the spot and started the firefighting operation. The fire had started due to a short circuit in a freezer installed at the restaurant,” Kumar said.

Firefighters and police personnel launched rescue and firefighting operations soon after receiving the alert. Preliminary investigations revealed that the fire originated due to a short circuit in a freezer installed at the restaurant.

“The fire has been brought under control, and there has been no loss of life,” he added.

Hours later, another major fire was reported at Ivy County Society in Sector 75, where at least two flats were gutted after a blaze broke out on the 12th floor of a high-rise residential building.

According to fire officials, the fire started in a 12th-floor apartment of a 28-storey residential tower at around 8:00 AM. The blaze spread rapidly through the flat, sending flames and dense black smoke into the air, visible from several surrounding neighbourhoods.

The fire originated inside an apartment and quickly intensified, with flames shooting out of the windows. Thick black smoke engulfed parts of the building and nearby structures.

Following the emergency alert, firefighting teams and police personnel rushed to the residential complex and launched rescue operations. Residents evacuated the building through staircases as authorities cleared the entire 28-storey tower as a precautionary measure. People living in nearby apartments were also moved to safer locations, according to media reports.

Fire officials said the blaze was brought under control after several hours. No injuries or casualties were reported. Authorities have launched an investigation to determine the cause of the fire.

The Sector 75 incident came a day after another fire was reported in an apartment in Noida’s Sector 100 on Thursday. According to fire officials, that blaze was caused by an electrical short circuit in an air conditioner’s indoor unit. No casualties were reported.

The latest incident has raised concerns among residents, as a similar AC-related short circuit had triggered a fire on the 27th floor of the same residential society on May 22.

According to the fire department, Noida has recorded 88 AC-related fire incidents over the last two months. Officials have warned that such cases rise during the summer months and have stressed the importance of regular maintenance of electrical appliances to prevent short circuits and fire hazards.

The incidents come just two days after a major fire at a restaurant in south Delhi’s Malviya Nagar area on Wednesday. At least 21 people were killed and several others injured in that blaze. Officials said many of those killed were foreign nationals, mainly from Central Asian and African countries.
