A fire broke out in an electrical panel on the ground floor of a building housing an IVF centre in Lucknow’s Indira Nagar area on Monday afternoon, prompting a quick response from firefighters and causing damage to a Volvo car parked nearby. No casualties were reported.
According to the fire department, its Indira Nagar Fire Station control room received an alert at 4.06 pm. A firefighting unit was immediately dispatched to the building, where personnel found flames in an electrical panel on the ground floor.
Firefighters used buckets and a hose reel to extinguish the blaze. The fire was brought under control within a short time and was completely doused, the department said.
The ground floor of the building houses the IVF centre, while the first floor is used as a residential area. The incident therefore involved a mixed-use structure combining a medical facility with a residence, although the supplied report did not specify whether the centre was operating when the fire started.
A Volvo car parked near the electrical panel sustained damage to its front portion. The fire department did not report injuries or deaths, and the source report did not provide details about the extent of damage to the electrical system, the building or the IVF centre’s equipment.
The incident places attention on the risks posed by electrical faults in buildings where healthcare and residential uses share the same premises. The available information identifies the electrical panel as the location where the fire began, but does not establish the cause of the fault or indicate whether any further inspection has been ordered.
Firefighters completed the immediate response after extinguishing the blaze. Further details about the building’s electrical system, damage assessment or the IVF centre’s operations were not available in the supplied report.
