Fire officer Rameshwar Dyal said the fire was caused due to a short circuit in a fan. There was no casualty but all the rooms were completely gutted.

A fire broke out in a two-storey building in sector 54 in Gurugram, a fire official said. More than 10 fire engines were rushed to the spot to douse fire.

The official said the building houses labourers most of whom were on work outside so no casualties were reported, but around 40 rooms along with household items were gutted.

Fire officer Rameshwar Dyal said the fire was caused due to a short circuit in a fan. There was no casualty but all the rooms were completely gutted, a report in PTI said. Dyal further said that the blaze broke out around 5:50 pm in the temporary building for labourers near a Tulip builder's project site.

Visuals shared on social media showed smoke emanating from fire amid high-rise buildings.

According to the fire officer, the roofs of the rooms on the upper floor were made of plastic shed because of which the fire spread rapidly.

The officer said more than 10 fire engines were pressed into service and the blaze was controlled after over an hour of effort.  

"Upon receiving information the fire department dispatched four fire tenders from sector 29 fire station, he said.Other fire tenders from Udyog Vihar, Bhim Nagar and Sector 37 fire stations reached the spot and the fire was finally doused off after more than an hour's efforts," Dyal said.
