Sribhumi: A devastating fire broke out at a prominent rubber factory located in the Bakarshal area of Sribhumi district.
The inferno, which erupted during the critical rubber smoking process, resulted in substantial damage to the facility and its inventory, with preliminary estimates placing the loss at a staggering Rs 10 lakh.
Swift action by local fire departments helped to contain the blaze, preventing it from spreading to nearby structures. However, the intense heat and rapid spread of the flames left the factory and its valuable stock completely destroyed.
Authorities are currently conducting a thorough investigation to determine the exact cause of the fire. Fire safety experts will also be scrutinizing the factory’s adherence to safety protocols to identify any potential lapses that may have contributed to the incident.
