"The restaurant is situated in a dense residential area and the first aim was to remove cylinders from its kitchen so that the blaze does not spread. This task was achieved and a major disaster was averted. However, the eatery's furniture etc got charred. Since it was empty at the time of fire, there was no injury to anybody," he informed.

The fire took two hours to douse and cooling operations went for some more time, he added.
