Chennai:
A fire broke out at the Chennai Port Trust complex, damaging five trucks, officials said.
No one was injured in the fire which occurred in a shed where the trucks were parked, Port Fire officials said.
While the cause of the incident was under investigation, officials suspect that excessive heat in the shed could have resulted in sparks, leading to fire.
