Devastating fire at IOC Oil Depot Jaipur, India

IOCL Terminal Jaipur, Fire 29/10/2009

A massive fire broke out at the Indian Oil Corporation depot in Sitapura Industrial Area of Jaipur on Thursday night. This led to an uncontrollable fire which engulfed 12 huge tanks.Nearly one lakh kilolitres of fuel, worth Rs 500 crore just burn out. The flames, had thrown up huge columns of thick, black smoke which blocked sunlight. Officials and firefighters finally decided to wait for the burning fuel to get consumed and for the fire to extinguish by itself, as there seemed to be no other alternative.An area of 5 km radius had been marked as danger zone.
