Patna blaze contained after 13th‑floor fire erupts in Biscomaun Bhawan
A fire ignited on the 13th floor of Biscomaun Bhawan in Patna early Tuesday. Firefighters brought it under control quickly, and thankfully there were no injuries.
Early on Tuesday morning, a sudden blaze erupted on the 13th floor of the iconic Biscomaun Bhawan in Patna. Residents and office workers nearby heard the alarm, rushed to the stairwells, and saw thick plumes of smoke curling up the side of the high‑rise.
Within minutes, the Patna Fire Services arrived on the scene, hoses at the ready. Their crews tackled the flames with a coordinated effort, moving floor by floor, and managed to bring the fire under control before it could spread further. By late morning the last ember was out, and the building was declared safe for re‑entry.
Fortunately, no one was injured in the incident. A few occupants experienced minor smoke inhalation, but they were treated on site and released shortly after. Authorities have launched an investigation to determine the cause, with early speculation pointing to an electrical short circuit in one of the office spaces.
Mayor Nityanand Rai praised the quick response of the fire department, saying, “Our firefighters acted swiftly and professionally, preventing what could have been a tragic situation.” He also urged building owners across the city to conduct regular safety audits and ensure that fire‑suppression systems are fully operational.
Residents of the surrounding area expressed relief that the fire was contained without loss of life. “It was scary to see the smoke, but I’m grateful the fire brigade was so fast,” one neighbor remarked.
The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of fire safety drills and proper maintenance of electrical installations, especially in older government buildings that see heavy foot traffic daily.
