A fire broke out in a battery room on the third floor of an office building in Greater Kailash-I, South Delhi, early Friday morning, according to officials.

The Delhi Fire Services (DFS) received a call about the blaze at approximately 2.47 am from the Tata Communications office located opposite Savitri Cinema, the Delhi Fire Service said in an official statement.

In response, 11 fire tenders were deployed to extinguish the flames.

According to the DFS, the fire was confined to the battery room on the third floor of the multi-storey building, affecting an area of about 200 square feet.
