HYDERABAD: Five teams from the Disaster Response Force (DRF) of the Hyderabad Disaster Response and Assets Protection Agency (HYDRAA) doused fires at two locations — Ameerpet and Patancheru — on Friday afternoon.
In Ameerpet, a fire broke out on the second floor of Divya Shakti Apartments, where the Agni Techni Script Creations dubbing studio is located, near Sarathi Studios. The DRF teams rescued a 25-year-old man, Rajesh Chowdary, from the studio.
The fire reportedly began around 3.30 pm due to a burst in the air conditioner compressor.
In a separate incident at Patancheru, the DRF and Fire department officials responded to a fire at a furniture godown. The blaze began while workers were welding an iron frame in a furniture-making unit. It later spread to an adjacent G+3 godown building.
Sources said both incidents were brought under control, and no casualties were reported.
