  "textContent": "WEB DESK: A fire broke out in bushes near the railway track at PIDC on Friday afternoon after an oil spill, officials said, prompting a swift response from emergency services.\n\nRescue 1122 spokesperson Hassaan Ul Haseeb Khan said the service initially dispatched one fire tender, but as the flames intensified, two additional tenders were sent to the scene.\n\n“Attempts to douse the fire with water proved ineffective,” Khan explained. “We later discovered the blaze was caused by an oil spill, so specialised foam was used to extinguish it.”\n\nThick smoke from the fire caused breathing difficulties for residents of a nearby railway colony. Thankfully, no injuries were reported.\n\nThe source of the oil leak remains unclear, authorities said, and investigations are ongoing to determine how the spill occurred.\n\nResidents have been advised to avoid the area until the site is fully cleared and safety measures are in place.\n\nThe post Oil spill triggers fire near Karachi railway track appeared first on HUM News.",
