Gautam Buddh Nagar CFO Pradeep Kumar said that the information about the fire was received at around 11 am, after which a fire unit was dispatched immediately, as per a report in NDTV.

Though the fire brigade rushed to the spot and extinguished the blaze, a motorcycle parked under the transformer was completely burnt.

Meanwhile, a private chartered bus hired to transport people for a marriage function caught fire in southeast Delhi's Jaitpur area. No one was injured in the incident as the bus had no passengers at the time and the driver immediately exited the vehicle after noticing smoke from the engine.

"A call regarding the fire was received at 8:10 am from School Chowk, and two fire tenders were dispatched to the location," an official from the Delhi Fire Service said.

The fire was extinguished within an hour, the official added. It is suspected that a short circuit triggered the fire, police said.
