CHENNAI: Five other people had been injured after a fireplace broke out on the flooring floor of a three-storeyed commercial complicated close to Ashok Pillar in Ashok Nagar on Saturday. Though there have been no casualty, the fire which broke out at 2pm created panic in the bustling neighbourhood.
At least 50 other people had been inside the building when hearth broke out. The hearth and rescue carrier workforce and bystanders rescued five other people and rushed them to the hospital after they fainted breathing in the smoke. Ladders had been used to rescue other people from 2d and primary floor. The building has retail outlets in the flooring floor and workplaces on two flooring.

Eye-witnesses informed police that the fire unfold to a couple of retail outlets on the flooring floor but didn't unfold to other flooring. Staff of a few corporations and a couple of shop keepers switched off their power supply to stop the fire from spreading additional into retail outlets on the flooring floor and primary floor. However, the billowing smoke that reached the opposite flooring brought about panic and inconvenience to occupants.
Vinay Krishna, 35, who jumped from a window on to an asbestos roof of the adjoining building stated, "There was thick smoke in the corridor when I came out of my office. I could not see anything. I was pushed to the window at the end of the corridor. The only thought in my mind was to save myself for my family when I jumped."
Many neighbours weren't mindful concerning the accident, till they saw the fire and rescue workforce landed on the position to position down hearth.
Another witness Anbu Selvan, who runs a magazine, stated, "There are a lot of problems at the electricity board and due to this, we suffer often due to power cut and when we complain to EB office, they never turn up."
