A fire broke out on the fourth floor of an Overseas Apartment in Noida's Sector 49, trapping an 86-year-old man and his 83-year-old wife inside their locked, smoke-filled flat. Fire and police teams used hydraulic equipment to cut open the door and safely evacuate the elderly couple, who were unable to move due to their age. They were hospitalized in stable condition. The fire was fully controlled, and local residents praised the quick emergency response. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
