    and destroyed various household items in a matter of minutes.

    However, thanks to the swift response of the Digboi IOC fire
    brigade and the timely assistance of local residents, the fire was brought
    under control after nearly an hour of effort.



    While several houses were badly damaged, fortunately,
    many others in the vicinity were saved
    from the flames.
    No casualties have been  reported, but the financial loss is believed to be significant due to
    the destruction of personal belongings and property



    As a result of the incident, many are worried about fire safety measures in residential areas with
    aging electrical infrastructure.
