Four members of family rescued from building on fire in Nagpur

Officials said on Wednesday that firefighters rescued a family of four, including two minor children, from a burning building in Nagpur’s Nandanvan area. The incident caused no injuries.

The family became trapped after a fire broke out in the ground-plus-two-story building around 9 p.m. on Tuesday.

“The fire broke out in a garment shop located on the ground floor and was spreading upwards, throwing out thick smoke that engulfed the entire building including the only staircase,” the Nagpur Municipal Corporation said in a release.

The family got stuck on the second floor and decided to jump from the terrace in panic. However, teams of the fire brigade and civic officials reached the spot in time and rescued the family.
