A blaze broke out in a storage godown located in the northeast part of Delhi on Tuesday, prompting a swift response from the fire department and police. The fire, which quickly engulfed the structure, trapped three members of a family who were inside the premises at the time.
Firefighters arrived within minutes and, after battling the flames for over an hour, managed to extract the three individuals safely. The rescued family members were taken to a nearby hospital for medical evaluation, though no serious injuries were reported.
