Massive fire at Guru Gobind Singh College of Commerce in Delhi's Pitampura
A short circuit in the server of the library at Guru Gobind Singh College of Commerce in Delhi's Pitampura led to a massive fire Thursday morning, which spread to three floors, the Delhi Fire Services (DFS) said. DFS officials said no students or faculty were injured as there wasn't much crowd inside the library in the early hours of the day. According to DFS, the fire started at around 8.55 am on the fourth floor of the college – under Delhi University (DU) – with the initial flames restricted to the first floor. However, DFS chief Atul Garg said the fire then quickly spread to the second and third floors, leading to the burning of books in the library. As many as 11 fire tenders were rushed to the spot to douse the flames.

It took time as the strong winds ignited the fire further on multiple floors. A short circuit seems to be the initial reason for the fire. The police will investigate further,' a DFS official said. The video of the fire showed massive flames coming out of the shattered window panes of the red college building. The sound of windows breaking could also be heard in the video. According to DFS officials, the library is still filled with plumes of smoke, and a correct assessment of losses would only be made after cooling operations are concluded. Last week, Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta talked about bolstering the ranks of the Delhi Fire Services with state-of-the-art technologies such as Quick Response Vehicles (QRVs) and Aerial Water Tower (AWT) vehicles, and announced a budget of Rs. 504 crore for it. The procurement of the equipment is expected to make the response time in similar incidents quicker and efficient.

CAJON PASS, Calif – San Bernardino County Fire Rescue teams were called to a vehicle collision in a remote area of the San Bernardino Mountains for a crash involving a motorcycle, a half-mile off the Cleghorn Trail.
