Huge blaze destroys Sikh temple

More than 70 firefighters tackled a blaze that destroyed a Sikh temple in Greater Manchester.

The blaze ripped through a multi-use building in the Strangeways area of Cheetham Hill at 2330 BST on Wednesday.

The ground floor offices and the first floor, which was home to the temple, were gutted in the fire.

Firefighters tackled the blaze throughout the night. An investigation is under way but the fire is not thought to be suspicious.

A fire service spokeswoman said: "There was a partial collapse in the first floor ceiling and firefighters had to enter the building wearing breathing apparatus to tackle the blaze."

Bury Road is closed while crews dampen the blaze down.

Any news??

There has been a huge blaze at Gurdwara Sri Gur Har Krishan Sahib in Manchester. As most of you know this gurdwara holds an annual smagam in December each year in which keertanis around the world attend. It is not known as of yet whether any saroops of Guru Granth Sahib have been burnt or whether it was done deliberately.

:sad:

Hopefuly though, after the Bow Gurdwara incident, this Gurdwara had procedures in place to ensure Maharaj Saroops were taken out.

I think we should all ask our local Gurdwara's, what procedures do they have in place during emergencies.
