Massive Fire Engulfs 50 Vehicles at Jodhpur Service Centre
One night in Jodhpur, a very big fire started at a car repair shop.
The shop is a place where people bring cars to be fixed and looked after.
More than fifty cars were parked inside when the fire began.
Firefighters rushed over with twelve big fire engines.
It took a lot of hard work, but they finally got the fire under control.
Nobody was hurt because most workers had already gone home for the day.
Firefighters think the fire may have started from a short circuit, which is like a spark in the electrical wires.
Paint and other things that catch fire easily made the flames spread very fast.
Police moved onlookers away from the area to keep everyone safe.
Investigators are still trying to find out exactly what caused the fire.
A massive fire broke out late Wednesday night at a car service centre behind Jodhpur's PG Women's College.
Twelve fire tenders were deployed before firefighters brought the blaze under control.
Over 50 vehicles parked inside the service centre were caught in the fire; the exact number of damaged vehicles is being assessed.
Fire Officer Jalaj Ghasia said preliminary suspicions point to a short circuit igniting stored paint and other flammable materials.
No casualties were reported, and an investigation into the actual cause is underway.
