“The balcony was closed which is why it spread to the second floor. However, the building used its own hoses to get the fire under control, when we reached, we could carry out the rest of the operation and put out the fire. The fire alarms in the building also alert the neighbours”, Choubey said.
 
"The fire has been controlled and no person suffered any injuries," he added.

The cause of the fire is yet to be ascertained. Kumar told the media, the preliminary report suggests that the fire could have been caused due to a short circuit or a diya kept for the home temple the fire chief said.
