As soon as information about the fire was received, about a dozen fire brigade vehicles from Rohtak, Jhajjar, Sonipat and Sampla reached the spot and efforts were started to control the fire. However, due to the presence of highly flammable material inside the factory, the fire brigade employees had to struggle a lot to control the fire.

The buildings of both the factories were badly damaged.
