The fire caught in the house and spread rapidly to the vicinity, reducing 40 thatched houses to ashes. Three fire-fighters were engaged to douse the flame, which was brought under control after two hours. An old woman, who was unable to move, was burnt to death. Three others sustained injuries including the woman who attempted self-immolation, he said.
