The fire, which was tagged as level one (minor), engulfed some electrical wirings and installations, plastic sheets, household items, wooden planks and furniture, among other things, he said, adding that the blaze was doused after five hours of efforts.

Four fire engines and as many jumbo tankers were pressed into service for the firefighting operation, he said.

“Nobody was injured in the incident and the exact cause of the fire is being ascertained,” the official added.
