Fire On Plastic Pipes 

The incident comes a day after some plastic pipes caught fire in southeast Delhi's Jamia Nagar. Five fire tenders reached the spot, but there were no casualties. 

At 1:25 PM the Delhi Fire Services received a call regarding a fire caused by some plastic pipes that caught fire in the Jamia Nagar area.

“Initially, we had sent four fire tenders to the spot to douse the flames. As the area was an open ground where the pipes were kept, some smoke from the burnt plastic pipes can be seen from far away. One more fire tender was sent to the spot for the cooling process,” the official told PTI. The blaze was doused by 2:15 PM. The DFS official had earlier said that the fire broke out in a commercial building.
