Fire Breaks Out At Keralam’s Malayinkeezhu

A fire broke out at Mookkunnimala locality in the Malayinkeezhu area of Thiruvananthapuram on Thursday, prompting a swift response from fire and rescue services, officials said.

Officials from three fire stations, including Tattinkara, Rajaji Nagar, and Kattakkada, were deployed to the spot to douse the blaze.

The hilltop locality houses a radar station and firing range used by the Keralam Police and the Army for training purposes.

However, the difficult terrain posed significant challenges for rescue and firefighting operations, hampering access to the affected area.
