INDORE: A fire broke out at a bungalow in an upscale area of Indore on Thursday afternoon, reportedly after a suspected fault in an air conditioner (AC).
The blaze spread quickly through the building, with thick smoke and flames visible from a distance. Firefighters reached the spot and brought the situation under control after an operation lasting nearly two hours.
According to media reports, the incident took place around noon. The exact cause of the fire is being investigated, while a short circuit in an AC unit is suspected to have triggered the blaze.
