On November 3, 2024, a massive fire broke out at a warehouse in Alipur, Delhi, near Shivam Dharam Kanta. The fire was reported at approximately 4 p.m., and it spread rapidly, leading to a large-scale firefighting response. 30 fire tenders were immediately dispatched to the site to contain the blaze. Despite their efforts, the fire continued for several hours, with firefighting crews working tirelessly to control it.

At present, the cause of the fire remains unclear, and authorities are investigating the origin of the flames. Initial reports suggest that the fire may have been triggered by an electrical short circuit, though this has not yet been officially confirmed. As firefighting operations continue, the extent of the damage to goods and property is still being assessed. Preliminary estimates suggest that the losses could be around ₹10 million.

The ongoing firefighting efforts highlight the importance of early fire detection systems, especially in industrial settings. Planck Vision TNC thermal imaging cameras could have been crucial in identifying heat anomalies before the fire escalated. These advanced cameras can detect potential hot spots and abnormal heat conditions long before visible flames appear, enabling quicker responses and preventing extensive damage to property and goods.

As the fire continues to smolder, the authorities are working to determine the full extent of the damage. An official investigation will follow once the situation is under control.

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.
