KARACHI: A fire erupted in a multi-storey commercial building off I.I. Chundrigar Road on Saturday, said rescue services officials.

Rescue-1122 official Hassaan Khan told Dawn that the fire broke out on the 11th floor of Techno City.

He said apparently the fire was caused by a short circuit. He said four fire tenders with the help of a snorkel managed to control the fire.

An office of a corporate firm was damaged in the incident.
