The incident, which left one person with severe injuries, has left the community in shock and disbelief.

The fire broke out at a property on the main street at around 7 PM, quickly engulfing the building in flames.

Firefighters were able to contain the blaze after hours of intense efforts, but unfortunately, one person was left with serious injuries. The victim, who has not been named, was rushed to the hospital and is currently receiving treatment.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation, but initial reports suggest that it may have been caused by an electrical malfunction. The property, which housed a small business and residential apartments, has suffered extensive damage and is currently deemed uninhabitable. As the affected individuals come to terms with the loss of their home and livelihood, the community has rallied together to offer support and assistance.
Local businesses have opened their doors to provide temporary shelter and supplies to the displaced residents.

We are grateful for the brave efforts of our firefighters and emergency services, and we will do everything in our power to assist the affected individuals in their time of need.”
As the investigation into the cause of the fire continues, the town is already planning a fundraiser to support the victims and help them get back on their feet. The event, which will include a raffle, auction, and live performances, is set to take place next weekend. All proceeds from the event will go towards supporting the affected individuals and helping them rebuild their lives.
The incident has also sparked discussions about fire safety measures in the community, with many residents vowing to take necessary precautions to prevent such tragedies in the future. Firefighters are urging everyone to regularly check their smoke alarms and have an evacuation plan in place in case of emergencies.
