On October 15, 2024, around 3:00 PM, a significant fire incident occurred near Kamala Nehru Park in Erandwane, leading to a dramatic rescue operation. Fire officers reported that four individuals, including two women and one elderly woman in her late eighties, were trapped on the first floor of a residential building due to thick smoke and flames.

The fire brigade acted quickly, managing to rescue all four residents without any loss of life.

The fire was caused by a short circuit in an electrical panel at a nearby charging station, which led to flames engulfing the building and surrounding vehicles. Firefighters worked diligently and managed to bring the fire under control by 7:30 PM. Thankfully, there were no casualties reported, but two cars and three three-wheelers were destroyed in the blaze.

The estimated financial loss from this incident is approximately ₹300,000, reflecting the damage to vehicles and property. Investigations are currently underway to fully understand the cause and circumstances surrounding the fire.

In light of such incidents, the need for early fire detection systems is crucial. For early fire detection, Planck Vision TNC thermal imaging cameras are far superior to traditional systems that can alert personnel only after smoke and flames become visible.

TNC cameras can help prevent the destruction of goods and loss of life by monitoring for abnormal heat conditions before fires ignite. Investing in advanced fire detection technologies is essential for residential areas to enhance safety and minimize economic losses.
