No Limit fire a human error? [June 21 2014]

Several police teams investigating into the mysterious midnight fire that completely destroyed a two storied fashion drapery store No Limit in Panadura, suspect whether a man made error had caused it, the police said.

Millions of rupees worth of garments and fashion accessories as well as interior items were burnt to cinders in the fire that broke around 3.00am on Saturday. Several fire fighting crews in five fire engines took over two strenuous hours to douse the fire.

Senior DIG Colombo Range Anura Senanayake launched an investigation and recorded statements from four employees who were reported to have had a late night booze party on the top floor, where the fire had started.
