In Bangalore, known as India's “Silicon Valleyâ€, a peculiar fire broke out on the 19th: a lake caught fire and it was stunned. Even after the firefighters arrived, they did not know how to save them.
It is presumed that the nearby factories and residents have long discharged large amounts of sewage into the lake, including various chemical substances, which has caused the lake to be "flammable".
Residents dumbfounded: Lake flaming fire
India’s “Bangalore Mirror†reported that Benandur Lake, Bangalore, suddenly caught fire on the morning of the 19th. The lake was burning with fire and heavy smoke rushed around and alerted nearby residents.
Local residents rushed to the police and the firefighters rushed to the scene with a fire engine. However, the fire was located in the center of the lake and the firefighters had no boats and could not approach the fight. In the end, the Indian military dispatched about 5,000 soldiers and managed to approach the fire site and join firefighters in the fire.
The Indian military stated in a statement that as of the night of the 19th, the fire was under control. Many eyewitnesses said that they saw heavy smoke on the lake in the early morning of the 20th and firefighters continued to save the fire.
The Associated Press reported that this fire initially threatened a lakeside military zone. Fortunately, the fire was later contained and did not spread to the commercial and living neighborhoods of this “Silicon Valley†city in India.
Preliminary inference: abandon waste water
From the initial situation, there is a large amount of industrial wastewater, domestic sewage and construction waste accumulated in Lake Belendu, containing a variety of chemical substances, and the lake is also “crazy†with one of the invasive alien species, water hyacinth, probably both with the fire. Can not take off.
The mayor of Bangalore, Sampat Raj, said investigators will collect samples of lake water to detect the cause of the fire. He promised that the municipal authorities will seek advice from the Indian Institute of Science and formulate measures to prevent similar dangers in the future.
This is not the first time that Berendur Lake caught fire. In May 2015, Lake Benandur had caught fire. In February 2017, the lake caught fire again and was extinguished after 12 hours.
The British "Guardian" reported that some experts had warned that if the water pollution problem cannot be effectively solved, the Indian science and technology capital will become "unfit for human habitation" by 2025.
