On Monday, a section of a factory building in Karachi's Landhi Export Processing Zone (EPZ) succumbed to a fire, according to Rescue 1122. Rescue teams were on-site, working tirelessly to douse the flames. "Part of the factory collapsed due to the fire," a spokesperson for Rescue 1122 reported. A video screen capture displayed the blaze engulfing the factory premises on September 7, 2026.
The fire had also spread to a neighboring factory, the spokesperson added. As of now, there have been no casualties or injuries reported. Initially, Rescue 1122 dispatched a fire and rescue team, a fire brigade truck, and an ambulance upon receiving the alert from their Central Command and Control. The Edhi Foundation and its ambulances and volunteers also arrived at the scene to assist in the rescue operation.
Earlier this year, a substantial fire at a plastic factory in the same Landhi EPZ engulfed several other nearby factories as well.
