Rewat said the fire broke out in the dorm'slower level, which is used for activities. Preliminary indications suggested afaulty fluorescent light on the ground floor may have been the cause, SantSukhavachana, a senior regional forensics officer, told Reuters. The upperlevel housed the sleeping quarters. It is one of the two dorms on the 20-acreschool grounds. The other dorm, which is located nearby and is for boys, wasuntouched, Rewat said.
