Two fire incidents take place in Hyderabad, no casualties reported

Two fire mishaps took place in Hyderabad in the wee hours of Wednesday. The first fire broke out on the first floor of Pioneer Chambers opposite Apollo Hospital in Hyderguda.

As fire personnel fought to douse the flames, around 30 people from the third, fourth and fifth floors of the multistoried building were first sent to the terrace.

The rescue operations took a hit due to the smoke filling up the internal staircase following which a Bronto skylift was used and the inmates were brought down one by one.

Another fire incident occurred at around 5 am in Oyster Hotel opposite the Madhapur police station. A short circuit in the panel board on the second floor is learned to have led to the fire. The inmates of the hotel were evacuated as the building was filled with smoke. While the fire was completely extinguished in about an hour, two people reportedly suffered minor injuries.

No casualties were reported in both the incidents.
