A huge plume of smoke was seen at the Yelahankha air base, which is the venue for the Aero India 2019 air show being held in Bengaluru, on Saturday morning. Police sources present at the spot have told TNM that a grass fire spread to parking area number 5 and some vehicles which were parked there have also caught fire. Currently, there are no reports of any injuries. Fire engines and an ambulance have been rushed to the spot to help douse the fire. The cause of the fire is not yet known but sources say it could have been a lit cigarette that was thrown into the grass which may have started the fire. It is not known yet how many vehicles are ablaze. The parking spot is located around a kilometre away from where the air show is being held. @drajaykumar_ias @SpokespersonMoD @SIDMIndia Pls attend Need more fire brigade G5 parking Aeroindia@AeroIndiashow pic.twitter.com/BCkXc4vl9U — Vishwajeet Dubey (@Vishu8527522679) February 23, 2019 When the smoke was first spotted, many thought it was garbage being burnt but the amount of smoke later indicated a bigger fire. The area has been cordoned off and police personnel have reached the spot to initiate the investigation. There has been no disruption to the Aero India show due to the smoke.
