Details coming in from the region suggest there haven't been any injuries from the massive blaze. Since the structures at the Manigam police training center are made of wood, the fire spread quickly. According to reports, a short circuit caused the fire, which eventually spread to another close-by quarter.
Stay tuned for updates.
