Bengaluru: A massive fire broke out and spread across a parking lot near Gate number 5 of Yelahanka Air Force Station—which is hosting Aero India show—that has burnt around 150 parked cars, informed Karnataka Fire Department. The incident happened at about 12.17 pm, while the morning flying display was in progress.
According to the fire department, the fire was controlled by creating a gap between the adjacent cars. No injuries have been reported so far.
Officials said the fire has now been controlled, and no one sustained injuries.
Officials said the fire likely started on dry grass, and spread quickly, aided by strong winds. Firemen tried controlling the blaze by moving unaffected vehicles away from the fire zone.
The fire broke out just moments after badminton star PV Sindhu took to the skies+ co-piloting the Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) Tejas’ trainer variant. It forced a suspension of further display for the morning, and no other plane took off after Sindhu's.
Although the area in which fire broke out belongs to the Indian Air Force (IAF) and, it was far away from the Aero India venue, separated by Ballari road, which leads to the Kempegowda International Airport (KIA).
Officials said the fire has now been controlled, and no one sustained injuries.
