Water tankers, dispatched earlier from the Water Corporation, are on the site to assist with the operation.<\/p>\n<p>An emergency was earlier declared at the NEPA hydrant to ensure an uninterrupted water supply.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThanks to the timely response, we were able to stop the fire from spreading to the car parking levels and the office floors above,\u201d said a fire brigade spokesperson. Some vehicles that were parked in the building have been safely removed, and no casualties have been reported.<\/p>\n<p>Rescue teams earlier used a snorkel to evacuate individuals trapped on the rooftop. Thick smoke inside the building had made the rescue work challenging, but all those stuck inside have now been safely rescued.<\/p>\n<p>Authorities kept the surrounding road closed to traffic to allow emergency crews space to continue their work. Police and Rangers are present to ensure public safety.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n            setTimeout(function(){\n                var
