A fire erupted due to short circuit at a single-storey house in Shahapur of Maharashtra's Thane district, and no casualties were reported in the incident, police said on Wednesday.


The blaze broke out at a house located in the main marketplace of Khardi in the early hours of Tuesday, an official from the police outpost said.


While the flames were doused by locals in three hours, the house was completely gutted, he said.


No casualties were reported in the incident, as the occupants managed to get out in time, but valuables worth Rs 1.5 lakh were destroyed, the official said.

The blaze erupted due to a short circuit in the kitchen, which caused a gas cylinder to explode and destroyed the house, he added.
