A fire has broken out at a bookshop in Kurunegala on Thursday morning, with six fire trucks dispatched to bring the blaze under control.
NewsFirst reported the fire shortly after 10:30am as a developing story. No casualties have been reported and the cause of the fire was not immediately known. Authorities have not released further details on the property affected or the scale of the damage.
The incident comes weeks after a major fire on Dam Street in Colombo drew ten fire engines earlier in May, and after a hotel fire in Batticaloa claimed the lives of two young children due to smoke inhalation.
