ATM kiosk on Gotri-Sevasi Road where fire broke out on Thursday night
VADODARA: Fire broke out in the ATM booth of State Bank of India on Gotri-Sevasi Road late on Thursday night. No one was injured in the incident but cash worth lakhs of rupees is believed to have gone up in flames. Fire officials said that they doused the fire within an hour.
“Two ATMs kept in the booth caught fire and got damaged completely. The incident may have occurred due to a short circuit but we are trying to ascertain the exact cause,” a fire official said. Locals first noticed the fire following the alarm that went off in the booth.
In another incident, a car caught fire near Tarsali bypass early on Friday morning. The family that was travelling in the car got out safely but the car suffered extensive damage. Moshin Ghanchi, who was driving the car, told the fire officials that he noticed smoke emanating from inside the car following which he stopped immediately. The family of three was returning home after attending a marriage function.
