The fire broke out around 5.50 pm and was doused within 45 minutes using four fire tenders.

“No one got hurt as the cars were located 25 metres away from the police station and the fire was controlled in time. Two fire tenders each were pressed in from the Dera Bassi and Zirakpur fire stations,” said Jaswant Singh, Dera Bassi fire officer.

The officers are yet to ascertain the reason behind the fire.
