Srinagar/IBNS: A nearby Indian Army post spotted the fire in Gurez and dispatched a reaction team from the post carrying fire fighting equipment to assist the villagers. 

The swift action of the Indian Army personnel minimised the damage in the fire incident, the Army statement said.

While the cause for the initiation of fire was unknown, it was believed to have started from the house of an Army porter Ghulam Nabi Lone.

“An Army team being the first responders to the situation evacuated the villagers from their houses, while simultaneously dousing the fire,” it said.

“ The joint team of the Army and the Department of Fire and Emergency Services extinguished the fire and saved many precious lives through their proactive and swift action,” it added.
