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.

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.

"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.
