Eight people were killed in a fire incident that broke out in a tree-storey house situated in the Brijeshwari Annexe residential locality in Indore district in Madhya Pradesh State of India on Wednesday, reported ANI. The incident occurred at around 4 am and spread rapidly. Upon receiving the information about the incident, the firefighters rushed to the spot and began the rescue operation. There were electronic locks in the building, so it seems that after the explosion, power cuts may occur and doors may be locked, said police, adding that it was a three-storey building, and more than 10 gas cylinders were also stored inside the house, some of which exploded. Meanwhile, at least nine people were killed and three others injured on Wednesday in a devastating fire inside a multi-story building in the Indian capital city Delhi, police said, reported Xinhua.
