Two major fire outbreaks hit Ambala City on Diwali night, leading to the devastation of goods and several vehicles, officials reported Friday.

The first inferno broke out at a crockery market shop, taking firefighters several hours to extinguish the flames.

Meanwhile, a second fire in a nearby parking lot destroyed three cars and an auto-rickshaw. Fortunately, no injuries were reported in either incident. Fire Station Officer Tarsem Kumar suggested firecrackers might have sparked the parking lot blaze, whereas an electrical short-circuit likely caused the shop fire.
