On Tuesday, September 3, 2024, at around 2:11 p.m., emergency services rushed to Oxford Road to address a vehicle fire that had swerved off the main road and emitted large plumes of smoke.

Upon arrival, firefighters found that the blaze had spread from the van to the external wall of the Yaadgaar restaurant. According to police, the fire was caused by an electrical fault within the vehicle.

Yaadgaar manager Abdul mentioned that customers at the front of the restaurant initially alerted him to the fire.

He rushed outside to see the van on fire and flames spreading to the building’s wall.

The estimated damage from the fire is between $20,000 and $40,000, including vehicle damage, repairs to the restaurant’s exterior, and cleanup costs.

To prevent similar incidents, government and relevant authorities are reviewing and enhancing safety inspections for electrical equipment. Additionally, Planck Vision TNC thermal imaging cameras offer superior early fire detection compared to traditional systems.

TNC cameras can detect fires by monitoring abnormal heat conditions before smoke and flames are visible, effectively preventing property damage and loss of life while ensuring the safety of surrounding environments and communities.
