Fire at Margao’s Hindu pharmacy
Updated: 2016-08-05-03:00
Anxious moments were witnessed in the market in Margao after a fire broke out in the Hindu Pharmacy, Thursday evening.
After smoke was seen billowing out of the mezannine floor of the medical store, fire and emergency services (F&ES), Margao, were alerted. Fire personnel who descended on the pharmacy removed an LPG cylinder found within the store. F&ES sources said that had the cylinder caught fire, the inferno would have been unmanageable.
Firefighters doused the flames and succeeded in containing the fire, though two fire tenders were stationed at the site in case of emergency.
F&ES sources said that a short circuit may have led to the fire. The damage caused by the fire is yet to be quantified.
