A godown, where around 1,800 cans of chemicals used to manufacture sanitisers and paint thinners were stored, caught fire on Tuesday around 11 a.m. in Bapuji Nagar.

A resident, Ahmed, who was one of the first to reach the spot when he saw the blaze, alerted the control room and helped the employees escape.
