A major fire that erupted in the *mal khana* [warehouse] of the City Courts in Karachi also engulfed the record house, destroying case properties, valuable records and ammunition, *DawnNewsTV* reported on Wednesday. The fire broke out late on Tuesday night. Firefighters, rescuers and law enforcers rushed to the scene but were unable to effectively run a firefighting operation due to blasts in the warehouse. The explosion also caused panic among residents of surrounding areas. http://bit.ly/2JQypO6 http://bit.ly/2JQypO6+ It took four and a half hours to douse the flames. Five firefighters participated in the rescue work after police and Rangers cordoned the area off. Traffic on roads leading to the court was also blocked. The chief fire officer said at 7am that cooling process was underway.
