Six buses destroyed in Ranchi fire
On Sunday afternoon, a big fire happened in Ranchi at a place where buses go between states.
Six buses were completely destroyed by the fire.
No one was hurt because there was no one inside the buses when the fire started.
Firefighters worked for about two hours to put out the fire using five big water trucks.
The police are still trying to find out what caused the fire, but they think it might have been because of an electrical problem.
They will look at videos from cameras to help figure it out.
Six parked buses were destroyed in a fire at an inter-state terminus in Ranchi.
No casualties were reported as no one was present in the buses when the fire started.
Five fire tenders took around two hours to extinguish the blaze.
The exact cause of the fire is under investigation, with a possible short circuit being a likely reason.
CCTV footage will be examined to determine the cause of the fire.
