What Caused the Fire?

 The massive fire that claimed the lives of at least 35 people on Saturday, mostly children at Rajkot’s gaming zone, was caused due to “a blast in an air-conditioning unit inside the establishment,” the sources claimed. The police sources stated that during the preliminary inquiry, it came to the fore that the fire erupted due to a blast in an AC, which spread rapidly and engulfed the entire zone within a matter of time.

Rajkot Collector Prabhav Joshi said "The Fire control room received a call at around 4:30 pm regarding the blaze at the game zone. Fire tenders and ambulances rushed to the spot to douse the flames. The fire caused the collapse of the structure, and debris is being cleared."
