Fire breaks out in apartment in Begumpet

Property worth a few lakhs was gutted down when a fire broke out in an apartment at Begumpet on Wednesday night.

According to the police, the fire broke out at the third floor of a building in the Old Customs colony at Begumpet.

“The flat in the residential building was converted into a warehouse where POP



material and other articles were stored,” officials said.

On noticing the fire, residents of the first and second floors rushed out of the building. A fire tender from the Begumpet fire station rushed to the spot and doused the flames. They suspect the mishap occurred due to a short circuit.
