Greater Noida, Aug. 5 -- Two firefighters were killed and three others injured after a wall collapsed on them during a firefighting operation at an electronic chip manufacturing factory in Greater Noida on Tuesday, officials said.
The incident prompted authorities to order a structural audit of the building, officials said. The fire broke out at around 3am at a two-storey manufacturing unit in Udyog Kendra-2, Ecotech-3, officials said.
The blaze was largely contained in two hours. "At around 5am, while cooling operations were underway, a first-floor wall along with an iron beam suddenly collapsed onto a team of firefighters positioned beside a fire tender," a fire official said.P5
