Eleven Rescued in Hyderabad Building Cellar Fire
Early on Saturday morning, a building in Banjara Hills, Hyderabad, caught fire.
The fire started in the cellar, which is like a basement under the building.
The cellar had a warehouse for a wine shop inside it.
Lots of smoke filled the basement, making it hard to see and breathe.
Firefighters and rescue workers called HYDRAA came to help.
They worked together to save eleven people who were in the building.
Four fire engines were sent to fight the flames.
The thick smoke made it very difficult for the firefighters to control the fire.
The rescue workers are still working to stop the fire.
No one knows yet what caused the fire or how much damage it did.
A fire broke out in the cellar of a building on Road No. 10, Banjara Hills, Hyderabad, in the early hours of Saturday.
Firefighters and HYDRAA personnel rushed to the spot and rescued 11 people from the building.
Four fire engines were deployed to bring the blaze under control.
A wine shop godown is located in the cellar where the fire broke out.
Thick smoke engulfed the cellar, hampering firefighting efforts; the cause of the fire and the extent of damage are awaited.
