BREAKING NEWS:Major fire hits iconic India museum

A massive fire gutted a natural history museum in the Indian capital on Tuesday, destroying rare specimens of flora and fauna, the Indian environment minister said.
The blaze broke out overnight on the sixth floor of the building that houses the museum in central Delhi and rapidly engulfed the other floors, a fire official said.
Thirty-five fire fighters battled for hours to extinguish the blaze. Five of them were injured while trying to contain the blaze and have been taken to the hospital, a fire department official said.
Environment minister Prakash Javadekar said officials had yet to determine the full extent of the damage but old collections had been destroyed.
"This is a real loss. This loss cannot be counted in rupees. Some very old species of flora and fauna were there," Javadekar told reporters outside the museum, adding some were rare.He also ordered an immediate safety audit of the country's 34 major museums
