Passers-by noticed the fire and informed the Department of Fire and Emergency Services. Two fire tenders were rushed to the spot. As roads in the locality are narrow, the vehicles had difficulty in reaching the spot, and in extinguishing the fire. The staff worked for nearly three hours to put out the fire.
