 The 2011 AMRI Hospital fire was a major fire at a private hospital in Dhakuria, Calcutta, that
occurred in the early morning of 9 December 2011. The hospital is part of a private hospital
chain owned by the Emami & Sarachi group, known as AMRI Hospitals. The fire claimed 89
victims and was thought to have been caused by a short circuit in the basement. The spread of
the fire was aided by the illegal storage of flammable material in the basement of the hospital.
After the incident the directors of the hospital were taken into custody. The fire brigade was
also not at time.
 In 2016, forest fires have been noted in numerous places across the Indian state
of Uttarakhand. These fires, set mainly in pine forests in the slopes of the sub-Himalayan
region, produced clouds of smoke. Widespread comments in the Indian news media led to the
government taking action, deploying the National Disaster Response Force and making use
of Indian Air Force Mi-17 helicopters fitted with "Bambi buckets" to douse the fires with water.
The forest department estimated that 3,500 hectares (8,600 acres) of forest had been burnt.
Nearly 1,600 incidents of fires were detected which were brought under control by 2 May. The
rains on 3 May helped to reduce the impact of the fires.
 In February 2019, massive forest fires broke out in numerous places across the Bandipur
National Park of the Karnataka state in India. The National Remote Sensing Centre of
the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) carried out an assessment of the total area
affected by the fire. On 25 February 2019, it estimated the extent of burnt area to be about
10,920 acres in the last five days since 21 February 2019.[2][3][4]
Though the major fire was brought under control by 24 February 2019, some areas continued to
burn. The fire also spread to Mudumalai forest range in Tamil Nadu, causing damage in around 40
acres. The Tamil Nadu forest department took action to ensure that it did not spread further.
 The Bangalore circus fire occurred on 8 February 1981 at the Venus Circus in Bangalore, India,
where more than 92 lives were lost, the majority of them being children. The circus fire had
some similarities to the Hartford circus fire, which occurred on the afternoon of 6 July 1944.
 Brihadeeswarar temple fire is a fire accident that occurred during the consecration of
the Brihadeeswarar Temple on 7 June 1997 in Thanjavur, Tamil Nadu, India. The accident was
caused by a spark that caught up the thatch. A stampede occurred due to the panic created,
and a total of 48 people were killed and left more than 200 people injured. It is believed a fire
cracker lit near the temple fell on the yagasala, a temporary structure built to accommodate
the ritual ceremonies, and sparked the fire that spread to the thatched roofs. A stampede
resulted when the panic-stricken devotees rushed the only entrance to the temple on the
eastern side.
The rescue operations were monitored by Pulavar Senguttuvan, the state Minister for Hindu
Religious and Charitable Endowements, T N Ramanathan, the District Collector, S K Dogra, the
Deputy Inspector-General of Police and Jayanth Murali, Superintendent of Police of Thanjavur
district at that time. The rescue operations were aided by Home Guards, member of Red
Cross and the general public. The Tamil Nadu Government announced a compensation of Rs
100,000 to the families of the deceased and the injured were paid from Rs 10,000 to Rs 50,000
each.
 The incident occurred at the Rajiv Marriage Palace in Dabwali, where the local DAVPublic
School was holding its annual prize distribution function.[1] A synthetic tent, which had been
set up inside the building, caught alight when an electric generator short-circuited. The fire
spread quickly and blocked the main entrance; many of the deaths were caused by the
resultant stampede as 1,500 people tried to escape through the single exit door. At least 400
people died in the fire, and another 160 were injured, half of them with serious burns.[2] Some
sources estimate that up to 540 people were killed, 170 of them children and rest were the
adults.[3]
 A fire began at a budget hotel in Central Delhi, the Hotel Arpit Palace, in the Karol Bagh area of
the city, at around 4.30am on 12 February 2019, killing at least 17 people. The fire went through
all floors of the hotel; people were seen jumping from it.[1][2][3][4]
 Erwadi fire incident is an accident that occurred on 6 August 2001, when 28 inmates of a faith-
based mental asylum died in the fire. All these inmates were bound by chains at Moideen
Badusha Mental Home in Erwadi Village in Tamil Nadu.[2][3]
Large number of mental homes existed in Erwadi which was famous for the dargah of Quthbus
Sultan Syed Ibrahim Shaheed Valiyullah, from Medina, Saudi Arabia who came to India to propagate
Islam. Various people believe that holy water from the dargah and oil from the lamp burning there
have the power to cure all illnesses, especially mental problems. The treatment also included
frequent caning, beatings supposedly to "drive away the evil". During the day, patients were tied to
trees with thick ropes. At night, they were tied to their beds with iron chains.[4] The patients awaited
a divine command in their dreams to go back home. For the command to come, it was expected to
take anything from two months to several years.
As the number of people seeking cure at dargah increased, homes were set up by individuals to
reportedly take care of the patients. Most of these homes were set up by people who themselves
had come to Erwadi seeking cure for their relatives.
The origins of the fire are unknown, but once it spread, there was little hope of saving most of the 45
inmates, who were chained to their beds in the ramshackle shelter in which they slept, though such
shackling was against Indian law. A some inmates whose shackles were not as tight escaped, and five
people were hospitalized for severe burns. The bodies of the dead were not identifiable. [5]
 The Jaipur oil depot fire broke out on 29 October 2009 at 7:30 PM (IST) at the Indian Oil
Corporation (IOC) oil depot's giant tank holding 8,000 kilolitres (280,000 cu ft) of petrol, in
Sitapura Industrial Area on the outskirts of Jaipur, Rajasthan, killing 12 people and injuring over
300. The blaze continued to rage out of control for over a week after it started and during the
period half a million people were evacuated from the area.[1][2][3][4] The oil depot is about 16
kilometres (9.9 mi) south of the city of Jaipur[5][6]
The incident occurred when petrol was being transferred from the Indian Oil Corporation's oil depot
to a pipeline. There were at least 40 IOC employees at the terminal (situated close to the Jaipur
International Airport) when it caught fire with an explosion. The Met department recorded a tremor
measuring 2.3 on the Richter scale around the time the first explosion at 7:36 pm which resulted in
shattering of glass windows nearly 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) from the accident site.[7][8][9]
 The Kamala Mills fire was a major fire accident at the Kamala Mills Compound in 1 Above Pub
and Mojo's Bistro pub situated in Lower Parel area of Mumbai which resulted in the deaths of 14
people and several injured including an officer of Indian Armed Forces on 29 December 2017 at
0022hrs.[1]
 The 2006 Kolkata leather factory fire was a deadly industrial fire that occurred in West Bengal,
India, on 22 November 2006. The fire broke out in a leather bag factory located in the Tannix
International, Topsia, in the South 24 Parganas district in Greater Kolkata area, and generated a
wave of criticism of the poor safety standards in place among the country's sweatshops.
The industrial fire claimed the lives of at least ten people, who were unable to escape because the
doors were locked shut illegally. Authorities, in response to local residents' angry criticism, admitted
that the emergency response to the accident was substandard. Two separate investigations were
launched. One inquiry focused on the fire itself, while the other sought to ascertain criminal
responsibility for the disaster as well as the operation of the illegal factory.[1] The results of both are
either pending or have yet to be released to the general public.
 The 2013 Kolkata market fire was a fire accident that occurred in a five-storeyed marketplace
in Kolkata, the capital city of West Bengal, India, on 27 February 2013. An estimated 19 people,
who were mostly labourers working in the market were killed in the accident. Initial reports
indicate the fire might have been initiated by a short circuit in the first floor of the market.[1] The
other major fire accidents in Kolkata are the 2011 AMRI hospital fire accident that killed 90
people and 2018 Bagri Market fire in which no people were killed but lasted for 4 days which
destroyed nearly 1000 shops.
 The 2004 Kumbakonam school fire accident happened in a school in Kumbakonam in
the Thanjavur district of the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. A total of 94 students of the primary
section of the Krishna English Medium School were burnt to death in their classroom as the
thatched roof caught fire on 16 July 2004.[2] [3] The accident was one of the four largest fire
accidents and the largest school accident in Tamil Nadu's history, as well as the second largest
school fire in India in terms of casualties.
 The Ladhowal rail disaster on 15 May 2003, was a flash fire which began at 4am on the Frontier
Mail train service in India, and engulfed three carriages before it could be extinguished. 39
people lost their lives and another 15 were hospitalised with severe burns.
 The 2013 Mahabubnagar bus accident occurred on 30 October when a private Volvo bus on the
way from Bangalore to Hyderabadcaught fire after hitting a culvert while overtaking a car, killing
45 people and injuring another 7.[1][2][3] The accident took place at Palem village, Mahbubnagar
district, then in Indian state of Andhra Pradesh (but after 2014/06/02 in Telangana) at 5.30
AM.[4][5][6]
 On 10 April 2006 at about 17:30 IST (12:00 UTC), a fire swept through a consumer
electronics fair (Brand India Fair) in Victoria Park, Meerut, killing 65 people[1] and injuring 150
others.[2][3] The fire was said to have been caused by a short circuit. An estimated 2,000 people
were at the fair when the fire broke out.[4] The Consumer Trade Fair, where the fire broke out,
was being organized by Brand India Consumers Forum and was jointly sponsored by the local
Dainik Jagaran.
 The National Museum of Natural History (NMNH) was a museum focusing on nature, located in
New Delhi, India. Established in 1972 and opened in 1978, the museum functioned under
the Ministry of Environment and Forests of the government of India.[1] The museum was situated
on Barakhamba Road at Tansen Marg in central New Delhi,[2] across from the Embassy of Nepal,
near the Connaught Place metro station.[3] On 26 April 2016, the museum building and its entire
collection were destroyed by a fire.[4]
 The Nellore train fire occurred on 30 July 2012, when the Chennai-bound Tamil Nadu Express train
caught fire at 4:22 am near Nellore, Andhra Pradesh, India. At least 32 passengers died and 27
were injured. The fire gutted the S-11 sleeper coach in 20 minutes. A railway emergency crew
prevented the fire from spreading to the other coaches.[1]
 On 10 April 2016 at approximately 03:30 AM IST,[a] the Puttingal Temple in Paravur, Kollam, India,
experienced an explosion and fire after firework celebrations went awry. As a result, 111 people
were killed[1] and more than 350 were injured, including some with severe burns.[2] The temple
and at least 150 houses in the area of the temple were damaged by the blast.[3] According to local
reports[4] and eyewitnesses,[2] the explosion and fire were caused by sparks from a
firecracker[2] being used in a competitive fireworks display igniting fireworks in a concrete
storehouse.[2][4][5] The temple did not have permission from Kerala government authorities to
conduct a "competitive fireworks display".[6] About 15,000 pilgrims were visiting the temple to
mark local Hindu celebrations during the last day of a seven-day festival of the
goddess Bhadrakali.[7]
 The 2012 Sivakasi factory explosion was an explosion at the Om Sakthi Fireworks
Industries fireworks factory in Sivakasi, India on 5 September 2012. 40 people were killed and
more than 70 injured. The tragedy occurred in a fireworks factory which did not have a valid
licence.
 The Srirangam marriage hall fire was a fire accident that happened on 23 January 2004 during a
Hindu marriage function in Padmapriya Marriage Hall in Srirangam, a town in the South Indian
state of Tamil Nadu. A total of 57 people, including the groom, were killed and 50 others were
injured in the fire. The reason for the fire was found out to be a short circuit in the electric wire
connecting a video camera, which lit up the temporary thatched roof set up in the first level of
the hall.
 The Stephen Court fire was a major fire in a historical building, Stephen Court, that occurred in
March 2010 in Kolkata, West Bengal, India. The fire started by a short circuit in the lifts at 2:15
p.m. IST, rapidly engulfing the fifth and sixth floors. A delay in the start of rescue operations was
experienced due to the inadequate planning and preparedness of the fire-service department.
Many occupants of the building were forced onto narrow ledges on the sides of the building. 43
people died in the fire. More than 300 firemen and 40 fire tenders were involved in bringing the
blaze under control. Later a charge-sheet was prepared by the police which held the directors
and caretakers responsible for the mishap. A probe by the government into this incident revealed
that illegal construction of two floors and the lack of adequate fire-fighting equipment were
major factors that contributed to the blaze getting out of control. In 2016, the Stephen Court
Welfare Association, an unregistered company, reconstructed the building.
 On 24 May 2019, a fire occurred at a commercial complex in Sarthana area of Surat in
the Gujarat state of India. Twenty-two students died and others were injured in an academic
coaching centre located on the building's terrace.[1] The fire was started by a short circuit on the
ground floor; the students in the coaching centre were trapped by the destruction of a wooden
staircase. Three people have been arrested for their alleged involvement or their alleged
negligence leading to the fire and the deaths.
 The Uphaar Cinema fire,[1] one of the worst fire tragedies in recent Indian history,[2] occurred
on Friday, 13 June 1997 at Uphaar Cinema, in Green Park, Delhi, during the 3-to-6 pm screening
of the movie Border.[3] Trapped inside, 59 people died, mostly due to suffocation, and 103 were
seriously injured in the resulting stampede.
