This happened last month...was scrolling through my mobile & hence thought of posting this unfortunate incident. My apartment has got shops & retail stores at the ground floor. So one night around 3 am, when I was about to go to bed after binge watching Netflix, I smelled smoke from outside. When I peeped out of my balcony, I could only see black smoke emitting from lower floors. I panicked and called up the building watchman over intercom...he kept me on hold and confirmed that one shop caught fire & immediately dialed 101 for fire brigade. I asked him to put up the fire alarm of the building & went downstairs and clicked this photo. It was a tailor shop & all the garments and dress materials were gutted by the fire. Fire brigade came well in time (almost after 30-40 mins) & helped putting out the fire. According to them, it was a short-circuit that led to this mishap.

That sounds scary. Hope there was noone injured in the accident. Was the shop insured?
