यह देश के सबसे तेजी से उभरते शहर नोएडा के हाल हैं। यहां हर दूसरी बिल्डिंग हाईराइज है। तब भी फर्स्ट कॉल पर जो दमकल गाड़ी भेजी गई, वह होली की पिचकारी जैसी साबित हुई। बाद में हाइड्रोलिक मशीन ने आकर आग बुझाई। https://t.co/6MxDdo7DI8 pic.twitter.com/xSX4l3up0e

The viral clip particularly caught attention because water being sprayed from a fire engine appeared unable to directly reach the upper floors of the building. Social media users raised concerns about the challenges of combating fires in high-rise structures and whether sufficient equipment was available to tackle such emergencies.

However, authorities said emergency teams acted swiftly after receiving information about the incident. According to Noida Police, the fire was caused by a short circuit in an air conditioner. Local police and fire service personnel immediately rushed to the spot and launched rescue and firefighting operations. Malviya Nagar Fire Tragedy: 17 Foreign Nationals Among 21 Dead in Delhi Restaurant Blaze.

Despite the alarming visuals, firefighters successfully rescued all occupants trapped inside the flat. A husband, wife and their children were safely evacuated from the apartment during the operation.

The fire department deployed six fire engines to control the blaze. Officials eventually succeeded in extinguishing the fire completely and prevented it from spreading to neighbouring flats in the residential tower.

The incident occurred in the Sector 113 police station area. Authorities confirmed that no casualties or injuries were reported.

While the viral video focused on water apparently reaching only the sixth floor, firefighting teams used multiple methods and resources to bring the blaze under control. The operation concluded successfully with all residents rescued and the fire fully extinguished.

The incident has reignited discussions around fire safety preparedness in high-rise residential buildings, particularly the challenges firefighters face while responding to emergencies on upper floors.

Officials have confirmed that the situation is under control and that no loss of life occurred. Further assessment of property damage is underway.
