Fire breaks out at Nature Cure Hospital in Guntur, no casualties reported
Fire broke out at the physiotherapy centre and green gym area and spread to nearby sheds; reason for the fire is yet to be ascertained, say officials
A fire erupted at the Manthena Satyanarayana Raju Ashram, also known as the Nature Cure Hospital, located near the Krishna River in Guntur district on Tuesday. Fortunately, no one was injured. Villagers explained that a tragedy was narrowly avoided because the physiotherapy center was unoccupied when the incident occurred. The blaze started around 2 a.m. in the physiotherapy center and the green gym area, rapidly spreading to numerous structures.
Fire tenders from Mangalagiri and other locations arrived swiftly and extinguished the flames, according to Regional Fire Officer Jeelani. The cause of the fire remains under investigation. Guntur District Fire Officer M. Srinivas Reddy noted that the physiotherapy center and gym center were built from bamboo and other flammable materials without any fire prevention measures, which likely contributed to the rapid spread of the flames.
