12 Kolkata: A 32-year-old fireman, Sanjay Singh, was critically injured after a tin shed dislodged from the ceiling and fell on him while he was trying to put out a fire.
The incident was reported a little after midnight on Friday, when fire broke out at an abandoned shop on the first floor of a two-storey building in the Burrabazar area. Singh was admitted to the Medical College. He is stated to be stable at the hospital.
Cops couldn't rule out a short circuit. Seven fire tenders took over three-and-a-half hours to finally douse the flames. A forensic team has been deputed.
