CHENNAI: Half a dozen computers, some files and a few furniture were damaged when a minor fire broke out at the Tamil Nadu secretariat, situated at Fort St George here, on Monday morning.
Police said a short circuit might have caused the fire at the office of the personnel and administrative reforms department on the first floor of the building. However, they were investigating the exact cause of the fire.
On being alerted, fire and rescue personnel from the Madras high court fire station, led by the station fire officer (SFO) K Sivasankaran, rushed to the spot. Soon fire and rescue personnel from Mylapore and Esplanade joined the operation to extinguish the fire. The fire was doused in 30 minutes using six fire tenders.
