After the tin sheds were removed, we continued spraying water to cool the premises to prevent the fire from spreading further." The godowns are located on 25 gunthas of land. "We have stationed two tenders at the spot because the fire has not been doused off completely," the fireman said.Before it was brought under control, the blaze had destroyed four shops, two tempos and three motorcycles.
