Fire in Arithang home


GANGTOK, 23 May: Quick response by the neighbourhood residents helped beat down a fire from blazing out of control last evening here at a building in Church Road.
The Gangtok Fire Station received the distress call at around 4:30 PM and soon a fire team led by ASFO Samsher Subba, along with two fire tenders rushed to the spot.
It was informed that the tireless efforts by the neighbours had already doused the fire with the fire team making sure that no embers were left.
The fire had struck the rented accommodation of one Manish Gurung and no one was at home at the time. It is informed that Mr Gurung had left his heater on when he left home; there was no power supply at the time. When the electricity came back, there was no one at home and the unattended heater soon set the quilt and clothes lying around in the room on fire, it is believed.
