Two major fires erupted this week in Tamil Nadu, with the latest outbreak at the Food Corporation of India warehouse in Thoothukudi and another at the Central Theatre near Madurai's Meenakshi Amman Temple. Firefighters are actively working to control the situations and assess damages.

A fire erupted on Monday at the Food Corporation of India (FCI) warehouse in Thoothukudi, triggering an immediate response from the fire department.
