Massive Fire Engulfs Railway Station Parking, Hundreds of Two-Wheelers Gutted

The fire destroyed about 500 motorcycles and damaged station infrastructure, with firefighting efforts lasting several hours amid explosion risks, officials said.

  • On Sunday , a massive fire gutted over 500 two-wheelers at the motorcycle parking shed at Thrissur Railway Station.
  • Mallika, a parking facility employee, said sparks from overhead railway/electric lines ignited a bike covered with a polythene sheet, and the fire started on two parked motorcycles before spreading rapidly.
  • Around 6.15 the blaze erupted near the second platform at the bike parking zone, with fuel tanks exploding and the tin-sheet roof collapsing under intense heat.
  • Fire and rescue units from Thrissur and neighbouring districts brought the blaze under control within half an hour, averting a severe disaster and ensuring train services were not affected.
  • A forensic team and DRM-level inquiry will examine the scene, officials said, while Revenue Minister K Rajan sought an immediate report and senior ministers demanded explanations.
