A major fire broke out at the godown of Party Decorators tent house in Demseiniong, Meghalaya, on Tuesday afternoon, destroying the entire stock of materials stored inside the facility.

According to reports, the fire started at around 2:30 pm, possibly due to sparks from an electric cable. The flames spread rapidly, engulfing the godown and causing extensive damage.

Fortunately, all staff members managed to escape safely before the fire could spread further. No injuries or casualties were reported.

As many as eight fire tenders, along with personnel from the Fire and Emergency Services, were deployed to bring the blaze under control.

East Khasi Hills Superintendent of Police Vivek Syiem, along with magistrates, also visited the site to assess the situation and take stock of the damage.

The exact cause of the fire is yet to be officially determined.
