Karachi inferno: firefighters run out of water

KARACHI:

A fire engulfed a garments factory in Karachi on Wednesday evening, and continues to challenge the firefighters today, according to a local media outlet.

Earlier, an apparel making unit near Saba Cinema in New Karachi industrial area caught fire, which turned into a third-degree blaze as the fire brigade took their time reaching the site as usual.

Later, the inferno spread to a neighbouring factory as the fire tenders taking part in the operation ran out of water.

According to latest reports, the administration of Sakhi Hassan Hydrant has been directed to refill the fire tenders and bowsers so that they can continue the operation.
