Wood worth millions gutted in Lahore shop fire

Lahore: Wood worth millions of rupees was gutted after a huge fire engulfed a shop outside the Kot Lakhpat Railway Station in Lahore early Thursday morning.

Firefighters managed to extinguish the fire after struggling for several hours.

Woods worth millions of rupees were gutted in the fire that had erupted at a wood store and soon spread to the neighboring shops. 

The intensity of the blaze could be gauged from the fact that the clouds of smoke rising from the store could be seen from the distance.

However; the reason behind the blaze is yet to be determined.

The fire also disrupted the flow of traffic on the city’s Peco Road.
