Fire in plastic godown
Updated: 2016-04-18-00:36
A major fire broke out in a plastic godown at Sitarambagh on Sunday morning. There were no casualties in the fire that caused property damage of around Rs 10 lakh. The cause of the fire is yet to be ascertained.
While the fire broke out at 11 in the morning, the fire tenders were reportedly struggling to contain the flames till late in the evening. “When residents informed us about a fire in the five-storied building, we rushed six fire tenders to contain the flames. But since there was no point of access for the trucks through the narrow lane, we were forced to tackle the fire from behind the building,” said an official from the fire services department.
He added that mid-way into battling the flames, the tenders fell short of water. They had to resort to using a water tanker supplied by the water board to replenish their water supply.
