GURGAON: A massive fire broke out at the abandoned Kingdom of Dreams complex in Sector 29, Gurgaon, on Tuesday, prompting a major firefighting operation.Several fire tenders were rushed to the spot after officials noticed thick smoke billowing from the structure. Firefighting operations were underway to bring the blaze under control.Fire officer Naresh Kumar said the fire department noticed the smoke because its office is located less than half a kilometre from the complex.“Our office is located right behind this building, less than half a kilometre away, which is how we noticed the smoke rising. There was a massive column of smoke originating from the thermocol installed at the front of the structure. I immediately dispatched five or six of our vehicles all at once,” he said.Officials said the exact cause of the fire is yet to be ascertained.“We do not know the cause of the fire yet, as the facility has been shut down for quite some time. A fire had broken out here once before, which also occurred during the night,” Kumar said.He confirmed that there were no injuries in the incident.“No, there were no casualties. The place was empty and closed down; it is entirely reduced to a heap of scrap,” he added.Firefighters continued cooling operations at the site as officials monitored the situation.The incident was reported shortly after a massive fire in G+4 building in Noida’s Sector 66 left two people dead.
