A firefighter, who was rescued after a portion of a battery factory collapsed in northwest Delhi's Peera Garhi following an explosion due to a fire on Thursday, succumbed to his injuries, Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal said.
"It is with deep sadness I inform you that one of our firemen was martyred while saving people from fire. Our firemen save other people's lives by putting their lives under extremely risk in difficult circumstances. May his soul rest in peace," Kejriwal tweeted.
बेहद दुःख के साथ बताना पड़ रहा है कि लोगों को आग से बचाते बचाते हमारा एक जाँबाज़ शहीद हो गया। हमारे firemen बेहद जोखिम भरी परिस्थितियों में अपनी जान की बाज़ी लगाकर लोगों को बचाते हैं। भगवान उनकी आत्मा को शांति दे https://t.co/Z6K2dYVazW

Eighteen people, including fire brigade personnel, were injured when a battery factory collapsed in northwest Delhi's Peera Garhi following an explosion due to a fire that broke out early on Thursday morning, officials said.
As reported earlier, the fire was reported from the battery manufacturing unit at 4.23 am, which is when the local fire department dispatched a team of seven fire engines to douse the flames.
However, it was during the firefighting operations that a massive blast occurred which caused a section of the rear wing of the building to collapse.
After this, a reinforced team of more than 35 fire tenders and a team of National Disaster Relief Force (NDRF) were sent to the site to carry out rescue operations.
