Hundreds of families were forced to flee their homes with little more than the clothes they were wearing. Many residents described scenes of panic as they rushed to evacuate children, elderly relatives, and pets while flames closed in from multiple directions. Some attempted to salvage personal belongings, only to abandon them as smoke thickened and explosions echoed through the neighborhood.
Those explosions, captured in numerous videos shared on social media, raised immediate alarm. Authorities later confirmed that the fire appeared to have reached an illegal fireworks or pyrotechnics workshop operating within the residential area. Firefighters reported hearing repeated small detonations as the blaze intensified, suggesting the presence of explosive materials that significantly worsened the fire’s behavior.
