A massive fire broke out at a power substation in Safipur village in Noida’s Sector 148 on Wednesday around 8am.
According to fire officers, the blaze originated through a transformer and spread to another transformer and both went up in flames. Due to oil and inflammable materials there, the fire spread swiftly and thick black smoke could be seen from far away in the skyline.
Harinder Bhati, a resident of Greater Noida Sector Beta 1, said he was feeding his cows when he heard about the fire incident. “I reached the sub-station and saw the fire had spread massively. It was also raining but it could not dampen the fire. Later, the power department informed the firefighters who reached the spot to control it,” he said.
