A massive fire erupted yesterday at Anusuya Surgical Company in Vapi's Vibrant Business Park near NH-48, injuring two people and drawing multiple fire teams to the scene. The blaze, visible from a kilometer away, highlights ongoing risks in Vapi's industrial hubs like GIDC and business parks.
The Vapi Vibrant Fire Incident
The fire broke out on February 2, 2026, at Anusuya Surgical Company located in Vibrant Business Park, a key industrial area in Valsad district's Vapi. Thick black smoke billowed high, alerting nearby units and residents. This incident adds to Vapi's history of industrial fires in chemical and manufacturing setups.
What Happened: Timeline & Response
The blaze started around midday, rapidly engulfing parts of the surgical manufacturing unit. Over six fire tenders from Vapi GIDC, municipality, and nearby areas rushed in, battling the flames for hours to bring it under control. No fatalities were reported, but the response underscored the need for swift multi-team coordination in Vapi's dense industrial zones.
Injuries and Immediate Aftermath
Two young workers suffered severe burns 60% to 76% body area requiring hospital treatment. Firefighters contained the fire before it spread to adjacent units, but property damage to the company remains significant. Authorities are investigating, with local media sharing videos of the intense scene.
Possible Causes in Surgical Units
While the exact cause is under probe, similar Vapi incidents point to electrical short circuits, chemical solvent handling errors, or machinery overloads common in surgical and pharma firms. High-heat processes and flammable materials amplify risks during operations. Vapi's summer-like conditions in early 2026 may have contributed to wiring stress.
Key Fire Safety Lessons for Vapi Industries
- Install Mixed-Sensor Detection: Use smoke alarms indoors, heat sensors near machinery, and flame detectors for solvent areas to catch sparks early.
- Quarterly Electrical Audits: Inspect wiring, panels, and overloads in GIDC factories to prevent shorts, especially in high-power surgical units.
- AMC for Suppression Systems: Partner for annual maintenance of extinguishers, sprinklers, and hydrants—ensure 10-minute response KPIs.
- Staff Training Drills: Conduct P.A.S.S. extinguisher practice and evacuation monthly; tailor to chemical/electrical fire classes.
- Compliance Checks: Follow Gujarat Fire Prevention Act with bi-annual audits by certified agencies like Munshi Fire.
