According to the fire officials, the fire was not major. A single fire tender was pressed into service and the flames were doused in quick time.

Jasmine, a resident of the area and eyewitness, said, “Cars are often parked in the vacant plot. Someone lit the waste lying near the car on fire and it grew and engulfed the back half of the Toyota Innova car.”
