An Army vehicle caught fire today evening on the Sriganganagar-Bikaner highway. No casualties were reported, but a lot of luggage got burnt.
The Suratgarh Municipal Council rushed a fire tender to the spot. The fire was controlled by splashing water. Preliminary inquiries indicated that the vehicle was transporting a boat, and four soldiers were on board. Initially, some spark was noticed emanating from a cloth, which was immediately removed. However, the spark had spread to luggage due to high-velocity wind, a passerby informed the police. The police and fire tender controlled the fire within half-an-hour.
