24 hours after the massive fire broke out at the Berger Beckers Coatings Pvt Ltd factory the fire was finally brought under control on Wednesday. Tonnes of liters of water was used to douse the fire and about 4 tonnes of foam,

The Fire and Emergency Services said that nearly 100 fire brigade staff, Navy, Defence, and MPT staff worked round the clock to douse the fire.

it may be recalled that a massive fire broke out at Berger Becker Coatings Factory at Pilerne Industrial Estate yesterday. The blaze began at 2.40 pm yesterday. No one was injured in the incident. A short circuit is suspected to be the cause of fire. A source said that the loss would be massive as the entire factory has turned into ashes, and it will take quite some time for the company to rebuild the factory. Also, water tankers, both private and Navy, were also put to task to curtail the spread of fire to adjacent buildings.

IDC Chairman Alexio Reginaldo Lourenco said that fire tenders were called in from across the state.

He further said that fire fighters had requisitioned Foam to control the fire, and if required, help would be sought from Indian Army.

The fire was so huge that the smoke from the flames was visible from several kilometres away, including Panaji..

Meanwhile, the Directorate of Health Services issued a Health Advisory which mandated circulation of fresh air in all buildings (both residential and commercial) by keeping doors and windows open and switching on ceiling fans, exhaust fans, etc., especially in bedrooms with a 2.0 kms radius.

“Avoid using face masks; in case of any symptoms of breathing difficulty, contact the nearest Health Centre (or) the casualty of Goa Medical College (or) 108 services,” it said

The advisory also said that the use of air-conditioners should be avoided and that high-risk people with asthma or chronic respiratory illnesses and infants are advised to be shifted to safer areas till the situation comes under control.
