Over 500 Two-Wheelers Gutted in Fire at Thrissur Railway Station

Over 500 two-wheelers were gutted after a fire broke out at the parking area of the railway station here on Sunday, Fire and Rescue Service officials said. 

The blaze erupted at the paid-parking shed at around 6.20 am, and a distress call was received at about 6.40 am, the official added. 

A spark from an electric line that fell on a two-wheeler parked with a cover on it, was



suspected to be the cause of the fire.

Officials estimated that around 500 two-wheelers were parked in the shed, and a majority of them were gutted in the incident. 

Five fire tenders were deployed, and the blaze was brought under control by around 7.45 am, officials said. All measures were taken to prevent the fire from spreading to the railway station platforms and causing further damage.
