Fire engulfs Karachi shop

KARACHI: A second degree fire engulfed a shop located near the Hassan Square here on Sunday.

Fire tenders and rescue workers rushed to the area and vacated the residential flats in the building.

The Fire Brigade workers doused the flames after hectic efforts. However, the blaze completely gutted the shop.
