KARACHI: A fire that broke out early on Saturday at a building on I.I. Chundrigar road in Karachi, later reignited after the fire department had managed to control it.
The fire department told media sources that a man trapped inside the building had been successfully rescued. No serious injuries had been afflicted on the person.
Rescue activities are underway, as the fire department continued to make efforts to contain the fire for three hours. Five fire tenders, a fire snorkel and water bouser were used to control the fire on the fifteenth and sixteenth floor of Saima Trade Tower, following which it was reported under control.
However, the blaze reignited an hour after it was reported under control by rescue sources.
The blaze erupted between 5.30 AM and 6.00 AM, rescue sources told local media sources. Fire trucks promptly reached the site within ten minutes after the fire brigade department was alerted.
No casualties were reported, with two guards trapped on the affected floors safely evacuated from the building two hours after rescue teams reached the site.
