No injuries or casualties were reported.As per reports, around eight fire engines were promptly rushed to the scene to take stock of the situation and bring the fire under control.
The factory, situated in Dhar city's Pithampur, manufactures plastic pipes, which facilitated the rapid spread of the fire. Delay in the arrival of water tankers is said to have enraged the flames. According to reports, the factory was not well-equipped to fight the fire. There were neither enough fire extinguishers nor a big water tank, which could have helped to douse the flames at the initial stage, before it could engulf the entire building.
