Firefighters brought a fire under control at a shop beneath a residential building in North Nazimabad on Monday, while a separate blaze at a warehouse near Metroville in the SITE area continued to be battled, Rescue 1122 (Sindh) said.
The fire at the shop broke out near Farooq-e-Azam Mosque, prompting the deployment of Rescue 1122’s fire and rescue team, which successfully extinguished the blaze, according to the rescue service.
Meanwhile, firefighting operations were ongoing at the warehouse near Metroville.
Given the intensity of the fire, authorities classified the incident as a third-degree emergency, warning that it could take time to bring the blaze completely under control.
Rescue 1122 teams remained at the scene, continuing firefighting efforts and monitoring the situation. The operation will continue until the fire is fully extinguished, the spokesperson said.
The rescue service did not immediately provide details about the cause of either fire or any casualties.
