Fire and emergency services rushed to the spot to contain the blaze. The facility is believed to have stored tent-house and event-management equipment, although its exact inventory has not been confirmed.
East Khasi Hills SP Vivek Syiem also reached the scene. The extent of the damage and whether there were any casualties or injuries remain unclear.
