A massive fire broke out at a warehouse situated on the second floor of Sardar Bazaar in Madhya Pradesh's Guna district late on Sunday, October 5. After receiving the information, at least three fire brigades with five tankers rushed to the scene and worked to douse the blaze.
The fire has been brought under control within an hour of the incident. No injuries or casualties were reported in the incident. However, goods in the warehouse were fully destroyed in the fire, resulting in monetary loss to the owner.
An investigation has been launched into how the blaze erupted at the warehouse. Guna Sub-Divisional Magistrate Shivani Pathak suspects that the fire might have erupted due to sa short circuit or a battery. Diwali decorative materials were stored in the godown.
