Following the incident, residents reported a strong gas-like odor in the surrounding areas, raising concerns among the local population.

Authorities have yet to determine the cause of the fire but have launched an investigation, considering possibilities such as gas leakage or chemical reactions.

Locals claim the smell of gas has been consistently present in the area.
