Varanasi: Several documents, furniture, computers and other articles were gutted after fire broke out in a section of the State Bank of India’s zonal branch building at Kutchehri area under the limits of Cantonment police station on Monday morning.
The chief fire officer Animesh Singh said that the false ceiling of a section of the bank on first floor of the main building caught fire due to short circuit in electric wire. As the portion of burning false ceiling started falling, the fire spread to some furniture, computers and documents kept in cubicles, he said adding that the timely utilization of fire fighting system by the bank staff and fire fighters helped in controlling the flames before it could spread in the entire section.
The bank staff noticed fumes coming out of the windows of the upper floor of the bank building and immediately alerted fire fighters. Within a few minutes, six fire tenders reached the spot. After exercising for about an hour the fire was extinguished. Many bank officials also reached the spot.
