Ahmedabad, February 12 A fire broke out at a wheelchair assembly unit in Ahmedabad on Thursday morning, although no one was injured in the incident, an official said.
The blaze, which generated heavy smoke due to the presence of metals and other fabrication materials, including wheelchairs stored in the basement, broke out at Freedom Wheel Services near the ISKCON temple, possibly due to a short circuit, he said.
"The fire was successfully brought under control after prolonged efforts. No injuries have been reported," Chief Fire Officer Amit Dongre said.
Five fire tenders were deployed to fight the blaze, the cause of which is being investigated, he added.
