A large fire erupted at a cloth storage godown in the Kharvasa area of Surat on Saturday, according to ANI. Local emergency services responded to the scene to manage the blaze.
Sub-Fire Officer Vijay Solanki stated that between 10 and 12 fire tenders and 50 to 60 personnel are currently involved in the operation. The exact cause of the fire has not yet been determined.
