However, the exact reason behind the fire is yet to be ascertained. 

Earlier today, a massive fire broke out at a menthol warehouse in Kasna area of Greater Noida today. Around 18 fire engines from Noida and Ghaziabad were rushed to the spot and they tried to douse the flames.

No casualties or injuries have been reported, a fire officer said.

"The fire continues to rage for more than three hours. Fire personnel are facing difficulty to douse the flames due to the huge amount of menthol oil stored at the warehouse," the officer said.

"There are hundreds of menthol oil drums inside the warehouse and they are exploding," fire officer Arun Kumar Singh told news agency ANI.

The fire was contained but will take more than three hours to fully douse it off, he said. 

Earlier in February, a fire broke out in Metro Hospital and Heart Institute in Noida, trapping several people inside the multi-storeyed building.

About 30-35 patients were rescued and shifted to local hospitals, said Vaibhav Krishna, Senior Superintendent of Police, Gautam Buddha Nagar.
