According to reports, the fire broke out in the restaurant owned by Anand Mhapsekar. Fire fighting teams from Pilerne and Mapusa extinguished the fire.
For the Arpora-Nagoa Panchayat office, which is housed on the first floor of the building, it was a saving grace as the fire could have destroyed vital records and documents.
The fire fighting teams were led by A P Chalarnkar (Pilerne) and A N Malik (Mapusa).
The exact cause is unclear.
