Two persons were killed and five others sustained injuries after a fire broke out at a restobar in Dattagalli on the Outer Ring Road in Mysuru on Monday.
The blaze erupted in the rooftop terrace garden of a two-storey building near Netaji Circle, which appeared to house a kitchen area as well as a dining area.
An official from the Fire and Emergency Services Department said the department received an alert around 3.15 p.m. and immediately dispatched fire tenders to the spot.
Several customers who were trapped in the rooftop dining area were rescued by the Fire and Emergency Services personnel using ladders.
“We rescued around 15 customers with the help of ladders and shifted them to hospital Later, during a search, we found two staff members dead,” the official said.
