Bhubaneswar, Dec 12 || A major fire broke out on the top floor of a three-storey building in the Satya Vihar area of Bhubaneswar on Friday, where a bar-restaurant was operating. No casualties have been reported, said officials.
The bar and restaurant, named ‘No Limit Air’, was found to have no fire safety system and a valid fire safety certificate.
According to Deputy Fire Officer Narayan Das, the fire is suspected to have been caused by a short circuit. The blaze spread quickly due to the absence of mandatory fire safety measures.
Fire personnel rushed to the spot immediately after receiving the alert. Multiple teams were deployed, including units from nearby stations.
Das said that firefighters had to break into the building as smoke and flames had engulfed the top floor where the bar and restaurant were located. The fire was brought under control after nearly an hour-long operation.
