According to Chief Fire Officer (CFO) of Noida, the fire broke out due likely due a short circuit. However, the fire has been extinguished

As per the visuals shared by the news agency, the flames can be seen gripping the building from bottom to the top floor.

“We received information about the fire in a leather manufacturing company at around 4.30am. 15 fire tenders were sent to the spot and the fire has been extinguished. No casualties or injuries reported. It seems the fire broke out due to a short circuit,” Pradeep Kumar, Noida CFO said.

Last Sunday, a major fire broke out at the Ghazipur landfill site in east Delhi with the officials citing hot and dry weather conditions as a possible cause of fire at the landfill.

Police have registered an FIR against unidentified persons in the matter.

According to police, a case under Indian Penal Code sections 336 (act endangering life or personal safety of others) and 278 (making atmosphere noxious to health) has been registered at Ghazipur police station and a probe has begun.

The Delhi government later directed its environment department to submit a detailed report on the causes of the fire and an action plan to prevent similar incidents at such sites in the summer.

Earlier in March, a fire broke out in two flats of a residential society in Greater Noida West and five fire tenders had rushed to the spot to douse off the blaze.
