Station Incharge of Fire Brigade Rajouri, Maqbool Hussain said that the fire vehicles could not reach the spot because due to dilapidated condition of the link road, the fire vehicles had to stop on the way, but the fire brigade personnel reached the spot on foot.
With the help of local people they started extinguishing the fire but by the time the fire was brought under control, most of the goods kept in the house and the cattle shed had burnt to ashes.
