KARACHI: A fire broke out at a group of medicine shops in the Kharadar area of Bolton Market on Tuesday, injuring one person.
According to initial reports, the fire was likely caused by a short circuit in electrical wires. As soon as the incident was reported, emergency response teams sprang into action. Rescue 1122 personnel, along with Edhi ambulances and volunteers, rushed to the scene to initiate rescue efforts.
A spokesperson for Rescue 1122 confirmed that firefighters worked swiftly to contain the fire, which had engulfed several shops in the market. However, the operation was hampered by the narrow alleys and large crowds in the area, which made it difficult for the rescue teams to access the site.
While there have been no reports of fatalities, one individual sustained injuries in the blaze. The injured person has been transferred to the Burns Ward at Civil Hospital for treatment.
