On April 6, 2025, a big fire broke out in a traditional wooden wada in Pune’s Nana Peth area. The fire started quickly, and local firefighters rushed to help. The Pune Fire Department sent five fire trucks to the place, and more trucks came to help control the fire. They set up a safety area around the burning building, while nearby people were safely evacuated.
Luckily, there have been no injuries reported so far, according to the Pune Fire Department. The firefighters are working hard to put out the fire. They’re using water from different sources and special equipment to fight the flames that have taken over the old wooden structure. The wooden parts of the wada make it harder for firefighters to control the fire because they catch fire easily.
Fire officials are still trying to find out what caused the fire. They’re looking closely at how it started and spread. The wooden design of the wada means that firefighters need to be careful to stop the fire from spreading to other nearby buildings in the crowded Nana Peth area. They want to protect other buildings while they work to put out the main fire.
The firefighters are using many resources to handle this big emergency. Each fire truck has special tools and trained people to deal with fires in old buildings. The fire department is showing that they can handle large fires while still providing help to other parts of Pune.
As they work to put out the fire, the firefighters also want to keep evidence for the investigation. This event shows how important it’s to have good fire safety in old buildings and to protect Pune’s beautiful architecture. Local officials will share more information about the fire once they finish their investigation and understand what happened.
