The structure, made entirely of wood, caught fire and was engulfed in flames within minutes. The reason for the fire has not been officially confirmed yet. Local sources reported that strong winds contributed to the rapid spread of the fire.

Following the alert, two fire engines from the Darjeeling fire station reached the site and began operations to control the blaze.
