Six Die Of Suffocation In Midnight House Fire In Maharashtra, One Rescued

Six people were killed after a fire broke out at a house in Yedshi in Maharashtra's Dharashiv district during Diwali celebrations, while one person was rescued safely. 

The blaze erupted in the middle of the night and spread rapidly through the house, leaving the occupants trapped inside. Six members of the family are believed to have died from suffocation after they were unable to escape.

The family lived on the floor above a grocery



store. As the fire intensified, villagers and fire brigade personnel carried out efforts through the night to bring the blaze under control.

According to medical professionals, four of the victims were brought dead to the government hospital in Dharashiv.

Preliminary information suggests that the fire may have been triggered by diyas lit inside the house as part of Diwali celebrations. However, the exact cause of the blaze is yet to be established.
