Seven people, including five children and two women, were rescued after a fire broke out in a house in New Friends Colony around 3:39 pm on Sunday, officials said.
After the Delhi Fire Service (DFS) received a call about the blaze at a house, a water bowser, a quick response vehicle and a bulk fire tender were initially rushed to the spot in southeast Delhi, officials said.
Police said no person was injured in the blaze — which was brought under control at 4:05 pm — and dismissed reports circulating about the death of a child.
“Reports claiming that a child died in the fire incident are incorrect. No casualty has been reported, and all occupants were rescued,” a police officer said.
Firefighters launched a rescue operation and evacuated five children and two women stranded on the upper floor.
Police said an injured dog was also rescued from the building and sent to a veterinary hospital for treatment.
