<p>A senior fire official told mid-day, &ldquo;The fire was within our reach. The fire was confined to one room in which there was a fridge and washing machine. No one was at home. The cotton mattress and pillows caught fire, which created smog. The flames were brought under control within five to 10 minutes.&rdquo;</p><p>
