CANACONA: When two forest guards parked their private two-wheelers by the roadside and rushed to control a fire in a forest at Canacona, little did they realise that their vehicles would be charred in the same fire.
According to reports, forest guard Praveen Naik of Xeldem-Quepem and Dilip Gaonkar, a daily wage forest guard from Marlim-Poinguinim were informed of a fire in a forested area at Khalshi-Canacona.
After parking their two-wheelers by the roadside, the two forest guards went inside the forest. The fire, however, spread towards the road and engulfed both vehicles.
When Naik and Gaonkar returned, they found their two-wheelers charred. Canacona Police has ruled out foul play in the incident, even as investigations are in progress.
