New Delhi, May 23 -- A fire department officer was injured as 25 fire tenders battled a massive blaze that broke out at a furniture market near Delhi Metro's Seelampur station in northeast Delhi's Shastri Park area on Friday night, engulfing several furniture shops operating mostly under tin sheds, according to police and fire department officers.

The fire department officer was injured after the tin shed of one of the shops he was standing on during the firefighting operation collapsed, causing him to fall. The glass of a fire tender was also damaged after a few locals allegedly pelted stones at the firefighting vehicle, claiming that the fire trucks had arrived late, officials said.

A video of the stone-pelting incident later surfaced...
