A massive fire broke out in an incense sticks factory on Kanakadasa Road, Bendre in Kumaraswamy Layout on Wednesday night. No casualties were reported. As many as 12 fire tenders rushed to the spot and managed to douse the fire after an hour’s struggle.

The Fire and Emergency Services personnel suspect that an electric short-circuit could be the reason behind the fire. The fire broke out at around 9.23 p.m., first on the ground floor and subsequently spread to the three upper floors of Sagar Private Limited.

According to fire officials, no one was inside when the fire engulfed the three-storey building on Wednesday night. Raw materials, incense sticks, perfumes and packaging material worth Rs. 20 lakh was destroyed. It took nearly eight hours for the fire fighters to put off the fire completely.

The factory owner Sita Lakshmi rushed to the stop and later registered a case in the Kadrenahalli police station.
