123 Kolkata: A fire broke out in a warehouse on the ground floor of a five-storey building on Narkeldanga Main Road on Saturday.
Firefighters brought the blaze under control after nearly an hour and a half. No casualty or injury was reported.
Residents of the area said smoke was first noticed billowing out of the warehouse around 6 am. Within minutes, the fire spread rapidly due to the presence of highly flammable materials, including paper boxes. Those living nearby attempted to douse the flames before calling the fire department around 6.50 am.
Soon after, seven fire engines arrived and began firefighting operations.
"If any negligence is found, legal action will be taken against the warehouse owner," said a senior officer.
