House Catches Fire in Thottamon, Ranni

A house was caught fire and partially destructed in Thottamon, Ranni.  The incident happened at the Treasury Junction (Court Junction) infront of  St. Thomas Orthodox Cathedral. The house of Kallumpurathu P V Gopi caught fire causing massive destruction of house and household items. A gap was also created on the wall due to the intensity of the fire.

The house caught fire when nobody was inside and people inside the Thottamon Sub Treasure saw fumes coming out of the house. They along with the labors of the Ranni mini civil station rushed to the scene and tried to contain the fire by flushing water that was meant for some construction purpose.

The fire force also came to the site, but by then the fire was under control and this was really a collective effort from the common people. Household appliances such as TV, Fridge, Mixi, Grinder and bed were burned severely.  The house owner also rushed to the scene once he was informed regarding this. Electric short circuit is considered to be behind this mishap.
