At least 50 workers were rescued after a major fire broke out in a furniture showroom in Gujarat's Rajkot on Thursday morning.
According to the official, nobody was injured in the blaze.
"After being alerted, fire tenders were rushed to the spot from the Mavdi fire station. The blaze was so strong that flames rose up to the top floor of the three-storey building," Rajkot's chief fire officer I V Kher said.
As per the official, due to the foam and other flammable material used in making furniture, the fire spread quickly.
