This led to an uncontrollable fire which engulfed 12 huge tanks. Nearly one lakh kilolitres of fuel, worth Rs 500 crore just burn out. The flames, had thrown up huge columns of thick, black smoke which blocked sunlight. Officials and firefighters finally decided to wait for the burning fuel to get consumed and for the fire to extinguish by itself, as there seemed to be no other alternative. An area of 5 km radius had been marked as danger zone. More than 150 persons were admitted in various hospitals for burn and splinter injuries and eight people had been declared dead. The fire was accompanied with several explosions that shook the industrial area while people fled in panic. All educational institutions and industries in the area remained shut through the days. Even train and bus routes plying through the area had to be changed. The Jaipur Kota highway had been closed down for vehicles and about 20 trains scheduled to pass through the nearby railway line were affected. Nearby villages had also been vacated. Residents of about ten nearby villages, which housed an estimated five lakh people, and inmates of hostels in 10 engineering and technical colleges and a medical college had been evacuated in the wake of the incident after which power supply in the area was cut off. Over the past years, many countries and regions of the world are experiencing an increase of extremely large and severe fires. This paper deals with the effect of fire, smoke and water pollution. Such fires directly impact lives, human health, safety, livelihoods, material possessions, etc. They cause loss of biodiversity and site degradation at landscape level leading to desertification. The depletion of terrestrial carbon by fires burning under extreme conditions in some vegetation types, including organic terrain in peat land biomes, is a major contributor to global climate change.
