The second incident took place in the evening near Hanuman Vidyalaya at Velus, Valpoi, Sattari, where a dry jackfruit tree caught fire. A fire brigade went to the site and extinguished the fire.
Although no casualties were reported in either incident, these incidents highlight the increased risk of fire during the summer season due to dry grass and trees.
