“On reaching the spot, it was found that a four-storey building in Jagbir Colony was engulfed in flames. The residents of the apartments were rescued and the fire was extinguished with the help of firefighters. At first glance, it appeared that the fire initially broke out on the ground floor due to a short circuit.
