Fire Engulfs Plastic Furniture and Plywood Warehouse in Kanpur's Sisamau AreaNext

A large fire broke out around noon on Tuesday in a plastic furniture and plywood warehouse near Sangeet Talkies in Kanpur's densely populated Sisamau area. Thick black smoke spread across the skyline, causing panic and reduced visibility. Nine fire tenders from multiple stations responded, with firefighters, police, and locals evacuating nearby buildings. The blaze, complicated by narrow lanes and combustible materials, was controlled after nearly three hours. No casualties were reported, and investigations into the cause are ongoing.
