A third category blaze was extinguished that broke out at a warehouse in Karachi Naval Dockyard on Saturday. According to details, the fire was doused by 15 fire tenders of Navy, Karachi Port Trust (KPT) and Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (KMC) after the struggle of two hours. However, the reason behind the fire is yet to be ascertained.
Last month, blaze at a factory in Landhi was extinguished after 24 hours while 11 people were killed in Regent Plaza inferno on December 5, 2016. On October 31, 2016, blaze that erupted at Gaddani Shipyard claimed lives of 14 people. Many buildings in Pakistan have lax health and safety standards, while the city's fire fighters are often equipped with poor and inadequate equipment.
