KARACHI Nov 28 (Online): A fire that broke out at a foam factory on late Wednesday night, could not be extinguished despite eight-hour hectic efforts.

25 fire tenders were busy in dousing the fire which erupted at the factory located on the National Highway, official sources said.

The Fire Brigade department declared the fire as third-degree inferno. The authorities seem to have failed in putting in place a better system to overcome such a situation despite the killing of hundreds of people in such incidents.

Last year, over 200 people were brunt alive at a factory located in the city’s Baldia Town locality. It was the deadliest fire of the city’s history.
