Amravati NICU Fire Claims Three Lives After Ventilator Explosion

A fire broke out in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) of a hospital in Amravati, Maharashtra, on Tuesday. The blaze was triggered by an explosion in a ventilator used to support critically ill newborns. Three infants lost their lives before emergency responders could reach them. Hospital staff and paramedics rushed to the scene, but the intensity of the fire and the confined space limited rescue efforts. Authorities have launched an investigation to determine the cause of the ventilator failure and the fire.
