Two fires, one involving a private travel bus carrying 38 passengers near Karmanghat and another at a plastic water bottle manufacturing unit in Hayathnagar, kept fire personnel occupied in the early hours of Thursday (September 24, 2026). No injuries or casualties were reported in either incident.
The first fire broke out in a moving private travel bus, headed towards Srisailam, near the Karmanghat Hanuman Temple. The Fire Department received the call at 2.13 a.m.
“There were 38 passengers in the bus,” a fire official said. No passenger was injured.
A multipurpose tender (MPT) from LB Nagar was the first to reach the spot, followed by a water tender from Malakpet. The fire was brought under control and the fire vehicles returned around 5 a.m.
Hours later, at 5.34 a.m., the Fire Department received another call reporting a major fire at a G+2 building in Hayathnagar. The premises housed a plastic water bottle manufacturing unit.
Three fire vehicles were rushed to the spot, including a water bowser from Hayathnagar, an MPT from LB Nagar and another water bowser from Malkajgiri.
Fire officials at the spot said the blaze appeared to be of electrical origin. No injuries were reported in the incident.
