KARACHI: A fire erupted in a multi-storey commercial building off I.I. Chundrigar Road on Saturday, said rescue services officials.

Rescue-1122 official Hassaan Khan told Dawn that the fire broke out on the 11th floor of Techno City.

He said apparently the fire was caused by a short circuit. He said four fire tenders with the help of a snorkel managed to control the fire.

An office of a corporate firm was damaged in the incident.

In another incident, a huge fire erupted on the third floor of a garment factory in the SITE area on Saturday evening.

The fire spread and engulfed the fourth floor, which is top floor of the building.

Four fire tenders were busy in controlling it. No one was hurt in the incident, according to reports.
