Fire officials said the control room received a distress call at 8.38 am. Following the alert, six fire tenders and two firefighting robots were deployed.

“As there is a large quantity of liquor stored in the godown, the fire spread very quickly,” an officer said.

The cause of the fire and the extent of damage will be assessed later. Officials suspect a short circuit may have triggered the blaze. An investigation is underway.
