NEW DELHI — Five people, including two firefighters, were killed and four others missing in a fire that broke out in a factory in a town in Himachal Pradesh, northern India Wednesday, reported the Indo-Asian News Service.
The fire broke out in the factory named Advantec group in the Nalagarh town in wee hours Wednesday, killing three workers on night shift and two firefighters were buried when a wall collapsed.
The fire was brought under control by noon Wednesday after firefighters fought with extreme difficulty due to the presence of combustible material and highly inflammable gases, said police.
