Recently, a workshop near Durga Auto Works at Gorigudda was completely destroyed in a fire on Nov 9 Wednesday. Yesterday, two shops in Ullal caught fire and property worth Rs. 50 lakh was destroyed. 

A faulty battery is believed to be the cause of the fire. Since the fire station is just opposite the depot, fire fighting personnel arrived quickly and prevented the fire from spreading to the other KSRTC buses parked nearby. 

Reportedly, the staff had gone for lunch when the incident happened and they came  to know about it only when the fire brigade arrived. 

KSRTC officials say that the loss has not yet been calculated.
