Mysterious Fire in Korangi Creek Burns for Day 6

A strange fire has been raging for six days in Karachi’s Korangi Creek area, prompting the district administration to seal off the site.

The fire, which ignited on Saturday, remains uncontrolled despite initial firefighting attempts. Authorities have suspended operations due to extreme heat, with KMC and Cantonment Board fire trucks on standby.

The fire erupted after a construction firm drilled 1,200 feet for a tube well, unleashing high-pressure methane gas. Sand and water samples are analysed to determine the gas’s nature and volume. “If reserves are small, it’ll burn out soon,” the administration said. “If large, we’ll secure the area further.”

This reminds me of a mud volcano….

Former Chief Fire Officer Kazim Ali advises against dousing the flames. “Let it burn out naturally,” he urged, warning that interference could spread gas and endanger residents. Another expert proposed a 90-meter restricted zone and a soil mound to contain the blaze. Fire crews and police remain on-site, but efforts to extinguish it have failed.

The Korangi Creek fire has gripped public attention. Officials are testing samples to gauge underground gas deposits and risks. Sui Southern Gas Company (SSGC) confirmed no nearby installations are affected, while Pakistan Petroleum Limited (PPL) tracks potential gas supply impacts. Experts and authorities continue to monitor this unfolding situation closely.
