India
A fire broke out Saturday evening at a chemical shop in Kasna village, Greater Noida.
The flames spread fast because of chemical drums stored there, but thankfully, no injuries were reported.
Firefighters arrived quickly with 4 engines and managed to control the situation after 2 hours.
Closed drums exploded, short circuit suspected
Some closed drums even exploded from the heat, and open ones fueled the blaze further, making things tough for firefighters.
Officials suspect a short circuit started it all, but they're still investigating.
Authorities are reminding everyone how dangerous it is to store chemical drums because heat can make them explode.
