A total of four cars were gutted in a fire reported at Zuarinagar on Sunday afternoon.
Sources said that the cars were parked near the Zuarinagar police station and damaged in the huge fire that began from wild grass in the adjoining area.
According to the information from sources in the Vasco Fire station, the incident was reported at around 12.10 pm.
"We got a call regarding a dry grass fire at around 12.10 pm and we immediately rushed to the site and realised the fire was huge and had already spread to the other areas. We immediately called for assistance and four fire tenders were pressed into service, and we finally got to control the fire and douse it completely. Four vehicles - Honda CRV, Wagon R, Cielo and Grand Vitara - were damaged in the fire and while one car was completely gutted, the other three were damaged. We have estimated the losses to be around Rs 20 lakh while the property saved is estimated at Rs 8 lakh. Fortunately, there was no loss of life," said the source.
