MARGAO
A packaging factory at the Nessai Industrial estate at Areal village was engulfed in a major fire late Monday.
After receiving a call at around 10.50 pm on Monday, the Margao fire brigade rushed to the spot only to find the factory under fire. Fire officer Gill D’Souza informed that an SOS was sent to the fire stations at Curchorem and Cuncolim to send fire tenders. He pointed out that what has made fire fighting difficult is that the unit is stacked with paper sheets used in the packaging industry.
“It is a major fire. The fire personnel are on the job to extinguish and bring the fire under control,” Gill told The Goan from the Nessai Industrial estate at midnight.
