Firefighters and locals are trying hard to put out a massive fire near Mochi Gate in Old Lahore. The fire, which reportedly broke out at a perfumery shop, has spread around a vast area gutting other shops, houses and a masjid. A lonely helicopter has been sighted throwing water from a distant height.

    I saw the video on the TV today about the fire and it seems that
    our cities are not equipped to control these kind of incidents. We
    need to organize our societies better to be able to have an
    efficient communities. Sorry for the loss of business in those
    buildings.
