Dr Vikas Hazra, the owner of the establishment lived in the same complex with his family. His residence and the hospital was connected by a corridor on the second floor. When the fire department got the information, six fire tenders were pressed into service to put out the fire.
The fire soon spread to the entire hospital and could be brought under control by 10.00 a.m. The firefighters rescued nine people, who were being treated at the hospital, and rushed them to Patliputra Nursing Home. A fire official said the hospital did not have the adequate arrangement for putting out the blaze and even the anti-fire machine was also not operational.
