My grandparents used to live in a wada just like this. So sad to see these beautiful traditional homes disappearing. Hope they can preserve what's left!

The fire department responded quickly with 5 tenders - good job! But I wonder if the narrow lanes in Nana Peth made it harder for them to reach the spot.

These old houses have so much character but they really need modernization when it comes to electrical wiring and fire safety. Can't risk losing more of our heritage!
