Fire near Bangalore University – Mysore Bangalore Highway


Around 4:30 while we where about to have a tea in the midst of busy work, we noticed huge volumes of fire popping up some where near by the Mysore – Bangalore Highway. We saw the scene through the window; we rushed to the roof top, where we have MindTree Cafeteria, to get a clear view of the incident. Not sure about what caused such huge volumes of fire coming up. We guessed something it may be from the Petrol pump, adjacent to the RTO office near the Bangalore University – Mysore Highway junction. The smoke lasted around half an hour, and started slowly subsiding. The smoke seems like some kind of petroleum products are getting burned.

  1. Got the photos in the nick of time. Pretty clear photos too. But, how did you come to the conclusion that the fire was due to some petroleum product?

  2. Hi John, Thanks for the comments. We have not concluded that the fire is due to some petroleum products burning. We felt that it may be so, by seeing the color of the fume, and the pace the smoke covered the entire sky. It reminded me those pictures of Oil wells buring in Iraq duirng the Iraq war.
