Fire Erupts in Peshawar Shop Rescue Teams Douse Flames

Peshawar( Khyber Point)A sudden fire broke out in a shop located near Kohati Gate in Peshawar on Wednesday, prompting a swift response from emergency services. Rescue 1122 teams managed to bring the blaze under control within minutes, preventing it from spreading to nearby shops and residential units.

According to Rescue 1122 officials, the fire was triggered by a short circuit inside the shop. As soon as the emergency was reported, three fire vehicles were dispatched to the scene. Firefighters acted quickly, starting the operation to contain the flames before they could engulf the entire market area.

District Emergency Officer confirmed that the firefighters displayed professional expertise by confining the blaze to one spot. Within 20 minutes, the fire was completely extinguished. Fortunately, no loss of life was reported, though minor damage to property occurred.

Eyewitnesses praised the prompt arrival of Rescue 1122, stating that the timely action averted a major disaster in the densely populated Kohati Gate area, where small shops are closely packed together. “If the fire had spread to adjacent shops, it could have been catastrophic,” one local trader remarked.

Authorities are now conducting a safety inspection in the area to prevent similar incidents in the future. Rescue 1122 has once again appealed to business owners and residents to ensure proper electrical maintenance to avoid short circuits, which remain the leading cause of urban fires in Peshawar.

The incident highlights the critical role of trained emergency responders in safeguarding lives and property, especially in high-risk urban localities.
