A major fire that broke out in an apartment at the Ivy County housing society in Noida on Friday prompted Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath to direct officials to speed up relief and rescue operations while ensuring continuous monitoring of the situation.

The blaze erupted in a residential tower of the housing complex located in Sector 75, sending thick smoke billowing into the sky and triggering panic among residents. Firefighters rushed to the site and launched efforts to contain the flames. Officials said no casualties have been reported so far.

Visuals from the housing society showed flames and dense black smoke emerging from an apartment as fire personnel worked to prevent the blaze from spreading to neighbouring flats. Officials said operations were continuing to completely douse the fire.

Firefighters rescue people trapped in Sector 52 building

In a separate fire incident reported earlier in the day, a restaurant located on the ground floor of a commercial building in Noida’s Sector 52 caught fire, prompting a large-scale rescue operation.

According to fire department officials, initial information suggested that several people were trapped inside the building. Emergency teams reached the location within minutes and launched rescue efforts using firefighting and evacuation equipment.

“A fire broke out in a restaurant located on the ground floor of the building here. Initial information mentioned that a few people were also stuck in the building. Our response time was fast, and all our vehicles reached the spot quickly. Using all modern equipment, our teams extinguished the fire immediately. Our team has rescued all those people who were stuck here,” a fire department official said.

Officials later confirmed that all trapped occupants were safely evacuated and that no casualties were reported in the incident.

No casualties reported in either incident

Fire brigade personnel remained deployed at both locations through the day as cooling and monitoring operations continued.

The causes of the Sector 75 apartment fire and the Sector 52 restaurant fire have not yet been determined. Authorities are expected to investigate both incidents after firefighting operations are completed.

The twin fire incidents come just days after the deadly blaze at Delhi’s Flourish Stay hotel in Hauz Rani, which claimed 21 lives and reignited concerns over fire safety compliance in residential and commercial buildings.
