HYDERABAD - A truck refilling CNG at a CNG station, located very close to Wadhu Wah Gate on Hyderabad Bypass road on Friday, caught fire killing one person in the incident. An unknown person was burnt to death in the fire which engulfed the Star CNG station and a neighbouring house, the spokesman of Rescue 1122 Dilbar Halepoto informed. The fire spread a scare among the residents of coterminous buildings and bungalows as the CNG station is surrounded by residential units while an unauthorized transport stands also functions at the same place. The Rescue official said it took 3 fire tenders more than an hour to douse the blazes whose black smoke had covered the sky. He told that a completely burnt dead body was later found from the CNG station during the cooling process.
