# Ahmedabad IT park fire: 9 injured, 6 rescued 2026-11-02T20:06:32+00:00 | India | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets A massive fire broke out late Monday (2 November 2026) at an IT company in Magnet Corporate Park in Ahmedabad's Thaltej area, injuring nine people, Times Now reported. Six people were rescued by fire brigade teams, while three jumped from the building. Two of the injured are in critical condition, the outlet said. The Times of India put the injured count at five, with three taken to hospital by ambulance and two to Sola Civil Hospital in private vehicles. Divisional Fire Officer Swastik Jadeja told Times Now that the Ahmedabad Fire Brigade received an emergency call and deployed firefighters who rescued six people using breathing apparatus and search equipment. Chief fire officer Jayesh Khadia told The Times of India that the fire started in an electricity cable duct on the second floor, with 12 fire tenders deployed. Both outlets reported that the exact cause of the fire is not yet established, a short circuit is suspected. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The two outlets diverge mainly on the casualty figures: Times Now reports nine hospitalised with two critical, while The Times of India reports five injured, all stable. The disagreement may reflect different reporting times or sources. Both articles are otherwise straight factual reporting with no discernible slant, each attributing figures to fire officials by name. The balanced reading is that the casualty count was still fluid late Monday night. The next concrete update will depend on hospital statements and a final official tally from the fire department. Coverage is uniform straight reporting, neither outlet editorialises. The key factual discrepancy in injury numbers is the only significant difference between the texts. ## Coverage Coverage: 2 sources, 2 neutral - timesnownews.com (neutral report) Leads with nine injured, two critical, attributes to officials - timesofindia.indiatimes.com (neutral report) Leads with five injured, all stable, quotes fire chief by name This brief was synthesised by AI from the 2 sources linked above, so one read covers every framing they carry.
