New Delhi, July 27 (NationPress) A 40-year-old woman sadly perished in a fire that erupted in a building situated in the New Usmanpur locality of northeast Delhi on Sunday.

The Delhi Fire Services received an emergency call about the fire at approximately 7:01 a.m., prompting an immediate response with teams dispatched to the scene. Fire department officials reported that fire tenders were sent to the site to commence firefighting efforts without delay.

After over an hour of strenuous firefighting, the blaze was fully contained by 8:10 a.m. During the rescue mission, firefighters successfully extracted a woman who was trapped inside the building. She was swiftly transported to a nearby medical facility.

Despite the medical team's efforts, she was pronounced dead upon arrival. The victim's identity remains undisclosed, but she is believed to be around 40 years old. Preliminary investigations are currently underway to determine the fire's cause.

In recent weeks, the capital has experienced a series of similar incidents. On July 4, a significant fire occurred at Vishal Mega Mart in Karol Bagh, leading to the deployment of thirteen fire engines. Tragically, this incident resulted in the deaths of two men.

The deceased have been identified as Dhirender Pratap, 25, from Sonbhadra, Uttar Pradesh, who was at the mall seeking employment, and Pawan Gautam, 30, a married IT professional from Aligarh, UP.

Similarly, on June 25, a fire in a chemical factory in Rithala, part of Delhi's Rohini, claimed four lives and left at least three injured. More than a dozen fire tenders were deployed to extinguish the flames. The cause of this fire is still under investigation.

These incidents have reignited concerns regarding fire safety measures and compliance in crowded areas of Delhi, especially in residential buildings that frequently lack sufficient firefighting resources.
