Generator Catches Fire in Madikeri

Madikeri, Oct 20: A fire incident that occurred on Tuesday night in Madikeri—a city currently immersed in Dasara festivities—caused alarm among the public.

A short circuit triggered a fire in a generator that had been installed near the HOPCOMS outlet, in front of the Post Office. The flames spread rapidly; locals immediately alerted the Fire and Emergency Services. Fire personnel rushed to the scene and successfully extinguished the blaze. However, the intensity of the fire left the generator completely gutted. It is understood that the generator had been installed by the contractor responsible for the Dasara stage and the festive illuminations. The incident caused anxiety among nearby street vendors, and traffic in the area was disrupted for some time.
