The fire was, however, put out by a combined effort of the officers of the Federal Fire Service and the Federal Capital Territory FCT Fire Service who were mobilized to the scene to quench the inferno.

At the time of visit, the place was already cordoned off and visitors could not access the site of the incident.

BusinessDay, however, learnt that several cars were burnt due to the proximity of the underground parking zone to the generator house.
