A massive fire broke out in Bengaluru’s Kadugodi area on Sunday afternoon, and firefighting teams rushed to the spot to control the flames. The incident happened at around 2 pm and the fire department confirmed that the incident did not occur in the reserve forest area but at a private property that is close to the forest in Kadugodi.

The property where the massive fire broke out was reportedly covered with dry grass and bushes, which led the fire to spread quickly.
