Fire at Chemical Warehouse in Navsari District, Gujarat Leaves 3 Dead, 2 Missing

A fire broke out in Devsar village, near Bilimora in Navsari district, on Saturday, resulting in at least three fatalities, two injuries, and two missing persons. The injured individuals were taken to a hospital in Valsad for treatment. Fire crews from Bilimora, Gandevi, and Navsari worked for approximately three hours to bring the blaze under control.

The incident occurred when workers were unloading chemical containers from a truck for storage in a warehouse. One container fell, was damaged, and began leaking, which triggered a fire and an explosion. Due to the highly flammable nature of the chemicals, the fire quickly spread. The deceased suffered significant burns and succumbed to their injuries.

The fire also spread to two neighboring warehouses, which stored plastic goods and furniture, causing further damage.
