A massive fire broke out at a furniture manufacturing unit in Kishanbagh, Hyderabad, on Tuesday afternoon. Firefighters managed to extinguish the flames within 45 minutes, and no casualties were reported.

According to Chandulal Biradari station fire officer (SFO) B Surender Reddy, a distress call was received from locals at around 2:28 pm regarding the incident. Five fire engines from four stations were dispatched to the scene to control the blaze.
Possible Cause of Fire
