A massive fire broke out in a cloth bazaar in the busy Broadway market in Ernakulam district of Kerala around 10 am on Monday. The shops which caught fire in the cloth bazaar were Bhadra Textiles and KC Textiles.
The Kerala Fire and Rescue Services was informed the very moment that shops caught fire. However, though the name of the commercial market is Broadway, the roads are very narrow and packed with vehicles. This led to an almost half-hour delay and fire vehicles could reach the spot only after 10.30 am. According to TV channel reports, the fire engines were also delayed as hundreds of people had gathered on Broadway as soon as they heard about the fire.
Once the fire engines reached, the traders and the locals present in the market also joined the Fire Force officials in dousing the fire.
