PUNE: A godown containing wooden furniture was gutted in fire at Chand Tara Chowk at Mominpura in Ghorpade Peth during the early hours on Wednesday.
Fire brigade officials said a short circuit led to the disaster following which the fire spread across the warehouse. However, no casualty has been reported.
The sub-divisional officer from the fire brigade department, Saibaba Jilhewar, said, "A fire broke in the 1,000 sqft godown owned by businessman Anwar Hunair around 3am.
