Fire under control on Karachi’s M.A. Jinnah road, no injuries reported

A fire broke out at Rimpa Plaza on M.A. Jinnah Road in Karachi but was quickly brought under control within a few hours.

Emergency responders, including four fire trucks and a snorkel vehicle, were dispatched to the scene to tackle the blaze, which produced significant smoke.

Fortunately, there were no reported injuries or casualties, and authorities confirmed that no individuals were trapped inside the building.

Initial investigations suggest the fire may have been caused by a short-circuit in the electrical wiring, though the exact cause is still being determined.

This incident follows a previous fire at the same location earlier this month, which caused considerable disruption.

That blaze originated on the fourth floor, affecting various offices and storage areas.

It took hours to extinguish, with rescue teams facing challenges due to poor ventilation in the building.
