On the early morning of November 9, 2024, a massive fire broke out at a plywood factory in Bengaluru. The fire quickly spread throughout the building, destroying large stacks of plywood and other materials stored inside. According to senior fire officials, the blaze caused extensive damage, with an estimated loss of $500,000.
Five fire tenders were immediately deployed to the scene, but access to the fire was limited due to the large amount of highly flammable materials present in the factory. Firefighters worked tirelessly to control the fire, which eventually spread to various parts of the building. Fortunately, there were no reports of injuries or fatalities, as all workers had been safely evacuated.
The fire is believed to have started in the section of the factory where the plywood was stored, but the exact cause remains under investigation. Authorities have confirmed that the factory will be closed for safety inspections while the investigation continues.
The event highlights the importance of early fire detection systems in preventing such large-scale damage. Early detection technologies, such as thermal imaging cameras, can help detect abnormal heat conditions before a fire fully erupts, potentially preventing widespread destruction and safeguarding lives.

Scalable Solutions for Early Fire Detection
For early fire detection, Planck Vision TNC thermal imaging cameras are far superior to traditional systems that can alert to fire only after the visible consequences of smoke and flame are present. TNC cameras can help to prevent the destruction of goods and loss of life by surveilling for abnormal heat conditions before fires erupt.
