The fire had started in the ICU ward near the oxygen store and plant on the ground floor.

No casualty has been reported so far," a senior DFS official said, the news agency IANS reported. The blaze was brought under control.&nbsp;

"Most dreaded things in fire incidents, for firemen, are cylinder blasts, but team DFS has always taken risks to protect the lives &amp; property of the citizens of Delhi. A fire in Base Hosptial, Cantt, was received, 5 fire units were rushed to the site, the team fought in the presence of cylinder," DFS chief Atul Garg said.&nbsp;

The cause of the fire is yet to be ascertained and further details are awaited.&nbsp;
