KARACHI: A massive fire broke out in two warehouses storing solar panels and cosmetics in Karachi’s Hawkesbay area on Tuesday. Officials reported that the blaze at the solar panel warehouse was controlled after 12 hours, but efforts continued late into the night to extinguish the fire at the cosmetics warehouse.
DIG-South Syed Asad Raza stated that the cause of the fire is still under investigation. Rescue efforts were initiated promptly, with police evacuating workers and fire tenders from the Pakistan Navy and Air Force joining the operation. Rescue teams cited the presence of chemicals as a key factor in the fire’s rapid spread, making it difficult to control.
