A fire that broke out at a warehouse in Sinamangal Garigaun, where timber used in cargo is collected and sold, has also damaged the nearby Loyola Secondary School building.

The fire that broke out in Ishwor Karki's warehouse around 3 pm on Tuesday has damaged a building of the nearby school.

Karki said that three or four children were seen playing in the warehouse before the fire broke out and smoke was seen shortly after they were sent outside.

Although there was material damage due to the fire, there was no information about human casualties, said SSP Ramesh Thapa of the District Police Range, Kathmandu.

Of the two fire engines that went to control the fire, only one reached the scene, while the other could not due to the narrow road.

As soon as the information about the fire was received, teams of Nepal Police, Armed Police Force, Nepal Army and Municipal Police were mobilized to the scene.
