Reports say that the woman was in the building with her rival when the fire burnt her and her three children leaving her rival and her two children with severe burns.

According to a neighbor, the two men and their children cried for help when the fire was intense but their jammed doors and window burglaries made it difficult for the firemen to break into the building to rescue them.

“We tried as much as we could but we couldn’t get inside. With the help of the fire service, we rescued the second wife through the window and she was wounded and had some burns. When we were able to get inside as men of the fire service tried their best to rescue the second wife and her children but before we could get inside their room, they were already burnt”, another neighbor said.

One of the firemen also said,

 “There were four casualties and the cause of the fire is not known. The people here say their transformer has been spoilt and they said the people in the house did not put on the generator that night. Everything in the house was burnt down, nothing could be salvaged. It is very unfortunate. We are awaiting the arrival of our Controller to come and access the house”.
