A major fire broke out at a vehicle showroom in Kuttanellur on Saturday morning. Three vehicles were gutted in the fire.

The fire was first spotted by local residents from the service centre. Later, it spread to other parts of the showroom. As security staff were alerted, three Fire and Rescue Services units reached the spot. As they couldn’t control the fire, six more units from various fire stations of the district were pressed into action.
