Introduction

Two fires happened recently. One fire was at a club in Sector 26. The other fire was at a furniture market in Greater Noida.

Main Body

The fire at the DEFLO Club started on Wednesday. Sixty firefighters arrived quickly. They stopped the fire in 15 minutes. The fire started because of electricity. Some people changed the building in a bad way. This made it hard for firefighters to work. Two people also fought during the fire. The police took them away. Another fire started on Friday at a furniture market. Ten fire trucks came to help. The fire burned six or seven shops. The shops had wood and foam. These things burn very fast. This made the fire very hot and dangerous. Greater Noida has many fires. There were 150 fires this year. There were many more fires in April.

Conclusion

Nobody died in these fires. The police are still looking for the exact reasons.
