Residents of C-building which is near the P-building that caught fire in Darjeeling town today have alleged that they could not get out of their houses as someone had locked their door from outside. Residents claimed that they couldn't get out, until an individual broke his window and managed to get out and open everyone's door.

4.Fire Tankers Run Out of Water - Municipal Chairman Comes to Rescue
Once again the fire tankers were without water in Darjeeling, and had it not been for the Municipal Chairman Mr. Amar Rai the fire would have become worse.
After the initial tanker doused some flames it ran out of water and there was no alternative. Municipal Chairman Mr. Rai then called up all the water tankers that ferry water to town and requested them to assist in dousing the fire. He also requested help from Kurseong fire-brigade.
Thanks to the timely intervention of local residents and Mr. Rai the flames are now under control.
