Fire tenders from Jamnagar fire brigade and Reliance (which has a refinery in the area) were pressed into service, the SP added.

The flames were brought under control around 10:30 pm. ''Preliminary investigation showed that short circuit caused the fire and it spread quickly due to the decorative material used outside the hotel,'' the SP said.
