The Shadabad fire started on Saturday, October 21, in the afternoon. The fire was very extensive and difficult to contain due to the explosion of gas capsules and glue cans in the market. 11 fire stations and 200 firefighters are involved in this operation, and fire control operations are underway from six directions. So far, three bodies have been found in this incident and 7 injured people have been transferred to the Tehran Emergency Center.
The fire in the Shadabad Iron Market spread over an area of about 10,000 meters, which included shops that mostly contained flammable materials such as oil, Polycom glue, construction tools and equipment, and plastic.
Unfortunately, this disaster occurred due to the failure to observe safety principles in this area and the failure to pay attention to previous warnings to shopkeepers and owners.
Apparently, the cause of the fire was a welding operation by a person who had thinner and insulation under his feet, and sparks from the welding caused the fire. Shopkeepers and witnesses tried to put out the fire, but due to the presence of flammable materials, the fire spread rapidly and quickly turned into a major incident.
The intensity of the fire was such that the pillars of the shops melted, some of which were not insured and suffered huge losses, and about 50 shops collapsed and became rubble. Some of them were two-story and some had basements, all of which were filled with goods.
