Mangaluru: Fire in apartment in Deralakatte: Quick action of manager saves more than 100 lives
Ullal: A major fire mishap was prevented in Plama Nest, a 13-floor apartment near the Kshema Hospital in Deralakatte, on Tuesday morning, thanks to the timely action taken by the manager of the apartment.
The fire broke out as two dental college students who resided in the apartment number 202 left a hot iron on a bed before hurrying to college to attend a workshop on Tuesday morning. The instrument was still hot although the girls had switched it off.
Mohammed Shahid Shafique, a resident of Kuttar, who was the manager of the apartment, is learned to have sensed a smell of smoke near the apartment. When he went looking for the source, he noticed smoke erupting from the students’ house.
Shafique immediately called the girls back to the apartment and got the door opened, which helped them put out the fire immediately.
More than 100 lives are said to have been saved due to Shafique’s timely action.
