Eight families lost their homes overnight to a massive fire that broke out in a four-storeyed wooden house with 20 rooms in Shimla, officials said.
Local villagers managed to douse the raging flames after three hours and save the other houses from the blaze.
The fire brigade reached the village in Nawar valley around 3 am today after the villagers extinguished the raging flames, officials said. "The fire was caused by short circuit," said Mohit Chawla, Superintendent of Shimla District Police, reported news agency ANI.
