The deceased reportedly jumped from the burning apartment in an attempt to save themselves from the flames. Eyewitnesses said the fire spread rapidly, leaving the family with no other option. The intensity of the fire and the height from which they jumped led to fatal injuries. Emergency services rushed to the spot immediately after being alerted, but the three could not be saved.

The blaze was brought under control after a concerted effort by eight fire tenders that battled the flames for several hours. Preliminary reports suggest that the fire may have originated due to an electrical short circuit, although authorities are still investigating the exact cause.

Residents of the building were evacuated, and several others were treated for smoke inhalation and minor injuries. Authorities have assured a thorough probe and pledged to support the affected families.
