Damage to the school building, classrooms, furniture, educational material and other property is also unclear. A detailed assessment will probably be carried out after the firefighting operation is complete and the premises are declared safe for inspection.
Firefighters reacted quickly to prevent the flames from spreading in the school, the newspaper said. In buildings, fire incidents can occur rapidly, especially when there are combustible items such as furniture, books, classroom equipment and electrical installations in the building.
The authorities are likely to gather information from people at or near the school and examine affected areas as part of the investigation into the incident. After the assessment, a result for the cause of the fire and the extent of damage done will be made public.
The Santoshnagar incident is the latest reminder of the need for fire safety measures in schools and other educational institutions. Fire alarms, emergency exits, electrical safety checks and readily available firefighting equipment can all prevent small incidents from becoming big emergencies.
At present, the fire at Monarch Kids School in Hyderabad's Santoshnagar area is under control, but more details on the cause of the fire, damage and possible injuries remain to be seen.
