Fire guts five vehicles in Hyderabad's Tappachabutra

Hyderabad: Five two-wheelers were destroyed in a fire that broke out in the Tappachabutra area, Syed Ali Guda, Hyderabad, on Thursday night, February 27, 2025. The incident occurred around 2 a.m. in the Jabbar Supply Company Lane, where vehicle owners had parked their bikes and scooters in front of their houses before going to sleep.

Residents were alerted by the sight of flames and rushed out to move nearby vehicles. Despite their efforts to extinguish the fire, the five vehicles were already gutted by the time the flames were brought under control.

The Tappachabutra police have launched an investigation, but the cause of the fire remains unknown.

This incident adds to a recent series of fire-related events in the city, raising concerns over public safety. Just days earlier, a fire broke out at MN Polymers, a manufacturing unit in Prashanth Nagar, Kukatpally, on February 23-24. The blaze, triggered by a short circuit, destroyed raw materials and finished products. Fortunately, no injuries were reported, and the fire was controlled after three hours of efforts by two fire engines.

On February 22, 2025, a fire occurred at the Manikanta Timber Depot warehouse in Karmanghat, Saroornagar, near the Anjaneya Swamy Temple, causing significant damage. Similarly, a tipper truck caught fire in Kachavani Singaram, Medchal district, on the same day, though no casualties were reported in either incident.

Earlier, on February 18, two TSRTC buses caught fire at the Kushaiguda bus depot, but no one was injured. Additionally, a fire in a building near Kishan Bagh X Roads in the Old City on February 2 resulted in thick smoke but no casualties.
