A fire broke out in the Media Cell of the Bilawal House on Friday and caused damage to precious articles and equipment at the property. Personnel of the city’s fire brigade had to strive hard for over an hour to extinguish the blaze. Luckily, no one was hurt.
The fire quickly engulfed the building of the Media Cell and damaged the record room and the press room. The staffers were timely evacuated. A new fire tender, purchased by the federally owned Sindh Infrastructure Development Company Ltd for Karachi, under a special development package of the federal government for the city, also took part in the firefighting operation. Reports said an electric short-circuit was the cause behind the incident.
