The police’s initial probe in the fire that broke out at Currey Road’s One Avighna Park on October 22 has revealed that the firefighting system was working but it was set on low pressure. While there were conflicting statements from residents on whether the fire alarm went off, almost all of those questioned said the sprinklers did not work. However, the cops said that the Fire Brigade was yet to file the report, which will reveal the exact cause of the incident.

A fire broke out on the 19th floor of One Avighna Park, a 61-storey high-rise, last Friday morning. The blaze had claimed the life of a 30-year-old security guard. Kalachowkie cops have registered an Accidental Death Report (ADR) in the matter and are waiting for the fire report from the Fire Brigade. Initial probe has revealed that the flat where the fire started had done some internal changes, including relocating sprinklers. However, the fire-fighting system in the building was working but at a low pressure.
