A massive fire broke out at an Ola Electric vehicle warehouse in Janatha Nagar, located near the railway track in the Goods Shed area of Moosapet, Kukatpally, on Tuesday. The intense blaze caused thick smoke and high flames to rise rapidly from the warehouse, making the dense smoke visible from a long distance. Due to the vehicle batteries blowing up and falling directly onto the road, a severe panic was created among nearby basthi residents.

After receiving information about the fire, firefighters reached the spot immediately and worked to bring the blaze under control. Initially, two fire engines were deployed at the spot. As the fire continued to spread across the facility and could not be contained, two more fire engines were rushed to the scene. A total of four fire engines worked for about half an hour, spraying water and successfully bringing the flames under control.

Consequently, many residents moved to safer places away from the spot. Though multiple electric vehicles were completely gutted in the incident, no loss of life has been reported so far. The police have registered a case and are investigating how the fire started alongside the circumstances surrounding the incident. The exact cause of the fire is yet to be determined.
