CHENNAI: A fire broke out at a salon in Mylapore in the wee hours of Tuesday, leaving four women employees trapped in their room. They were rescued by fire and rescue services personnel and taken to a private hospital where they were treated as out-patients.
“They are all safe,” said a police officer quoting the doctors. The fire, which was controlled after a battle of about half an hour, was triggered by a spark from a faulty air-conditioner unit in the staff room.
