The fire was first noticed by local residents, who immediately informed the fire department and the police. Five fire tenders from The Mall, Chhota Shimla and Boileauganj were rushed to the spot to control the fire. After several hours of operation, the fire department successfully doused the blaze.

District administration officials said that the exact cause of the fire and the total extent of the damage are yet to be ascertained.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
