Fire engulfs house in Hazra near JD Park metro station

A fire broke out early in the morning at an abandoned house near Jatin Das Park Metro Station, causing panic in the densely populated Hazra area. Residents noticed thick black smoke coming from the building and immediately informed the fire department. A fire engine arrived at the scene, but firefighters faced difficulty entering as the main door was locked from inside. They eventually broke a window to gain access and managed to bring the fire under control before it could spread to nearby structures.

Authorities have not yet determined the cause of the fire. Since the house was abandoned, local residents have raised concerns about possible unauthorized activities inside. Police from Bhawanipur station reached the site to assess the situation. Officials are examining whether any flammable materials were present in the building and checking for any structural risks following the incident.

Eyewitnesses reported seeing dark smoke filling the area, prompting fears of a larger outbreak. “We saw smoke coming from the house and immediately called the fire brigade,” a local resident said. The Kolkata Fire Brigade has urged residents to report any unusual activities in deserted buildings. No injuries have been reported, and further investigations are underway.
