Hyderabad, May 30 (IANS) Many cars were gutted in a huge fire that broke out in a showroom in Hyderabad’s LB Nagar area on Tuesday night.
Four fire tenders were pressed into service to douse the fire which engulfed the showroom of pre-owned cars. The fire fighting operation was hampered due as thick black smoke enveloped the building due to burning tyres.
A gas cylinder also exploded in the fire. However, no casualties were reported.
The fire-fighting personnel were trying to stop the fire from spreading to adjacent buildings. Senior police officials have rushed to the spot.
A short-circuit is suspected to have caused the fire.
