The fire went for 13 hours.

The collector of the SOLAPUR KUMAR Ashirwad district said, “Prima facie, the cause of death seems to be suffocation because the victims could not escape fire. A case of random death was registered.”
There are several such factories as an industrial area, the police said. “Due to the intensity of the fire, it took five to six hours for firefighters staff to control the flames,” Mr. Waghmare said.
