A minor girl died and three others were injured on Monday when a fire erupted in a cattle pen in Battagram\u2019s Gut Seri area early on Monday, officials said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe blaze erupted in the cattle pen of a house and rapidly engulfed four nearby houses, resulting in the death of four-year-old Bushra Bibi,\u201d Shumlai Station House Officer (SHO) Farid Khan told Dawn.com.<\/p>\n
Bushra\u2019s mother Sumaira Bibi, 25, was injured in the blaze, along with Rukhsana, 32, and Saeedullah, 20. The deceased and injured were all from the same family, the SHO noted.<\/p>\n
\u201cOne buffalo and three cows also perished in the blaze,\u201d he said, adding that a total of four houses were gutted in the incident.<\/p>\n
The reason for the blaze was not immediately known, the police official said, but an inquiry report into the incident had been filed.<\/p>\n
Locals helped in dousing the blaze since the area is located in a remote, high-altitude region inaccessible to the Rescue 1122 team.<\/p>\n
The incident comes less than a week after a fire ravaged a house in Battagram\u2019s Rajmera area while a separate blaze engulfed a van on the Hazara Expressway in Kas Pul area.<\/p>\n
No casualties were reported in either incident.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
