Gurugram, May 20, 2025 — A major fire broke out early Tuesday morning at the Krishna Furniture warehouse located near Atul Kataria Chowk in Gurugram, triggering a large-scale emergency response.
According to initial reports, the fire began in the early hours and quickly spread through the warehouse, which was stocked with large quantities of wood and furniture materials—contributing to the rapid escalation of the blaze. Thick black smoke billowed into the sky, drawing attention from nearby residents and commuters.
Fire officials confirmed that multiple fire tenders were rushed to the scene and worked tirelessly to contain the flames. The firefighting operation lasted several hours, with teams taking precautionary measures to prevent the fire from spreading to adjacent buildings.
Fortunately, no casualties have been reported so far. The exact cause of the fire remains under investigation, though officials suspect that an electrical short circuit or flammable material ignition may be involved.
“We received a call around 4:30 AM and immediately dispatched units. The fire was intense due to the nature of materials stored inside,” a senior fire department official said. “Our teams managed to bring it under control, and now the cooling process is underway.”
Local authorities have cordoned off the area, and an assessment is being conducted to estimate property loss and ensure structural safety. This incident once again raises concerns about fire safety compliance in commercial storage facilities.
More details will follow as the investigation progresses.
