Fireworks Disaster: Residential Building Ablaze After Skyshot Explosion

On the evening of October 23rd, 2025, a devastating fire broke out in a residential building in Indirapuram, Ghaziabad. The incident occurred around 8:30 PM when a skyshot firework exploded in the balcony of a second-floor flat, igniting a blaze that quickly spread to the upper floors.

The 20-flat Divya Building in Shakti Khand 2 was engulfed in flames within minutes, with the fire reaching as high as the fifth floor. Residents reported that they had warned people against bursting crackers near the building, but their pleas were ignored. Six fire tenders from the Vaishali, Kala Patthar, Indirapuram, and Atal Chowk stations were deployed to the site, and it took nearly three hours to bring the fire under control.
