The reason of the fire is not known which started at the record room and spread to other areas.
The Pearl Continental hotel is located very close to military’s general headquarters and the sudden fire eruption saw army jawans running to the site and helping in the rescue efforts.
No casualty occurred in the incident as fire tenders doused the blaze while the guests were safely evacuated, police official Muhammad Ramazan said.
“We have set up a committee to ascertain the reason for the fire,” hotel’s chief security officer told media.
The hotel is one of the main hotels of Rawalpindi which is located near Islamabad and popular among foreigners.
