29 Hrs On, Firefighters Still Struggling to Put Out Pockets of Flames in Kolkata Building

News 18  

A massive blaze that engulfed a four-storey building in the city's congested Colootola area around 29 hours ago is yet to be completely doused with fire-fighters still toiling hard to put out pockets of flames, a senior official said here on Tuesday. A portion of the rear side of the building, which housed several small business establishments and storerooms, collapsed early on Tuesday morning, the fire department official said. Fire department officials had said on Monday that heaps of garments and plastic materials that were stacked inside the rooms of the building helped spread the flames relatively faster. This slowed the fire-fighting operation and caused problems for us," a senior official of the fire department added.
