The fire that broke out at godowns in Mumbai's Mankhurd on Friday afternoon has been doused. As many as 19 fire tenders were deployed to the site to battle the blaze.

The locals of the area said that no causality has been reported.

This is also not the first time that this place has caught fire," said Vinod Gupta, a local.

Another resident Nandlal Gupta said that there were numerous godowns in the area that store used oil, that act as fuel for fires.

"We don't know how the fire started but there are a lot of godowns in the area that are used to store burnt oil. This area is mostly inhabited by daily wage labourers who ran away once the fire began," said Nandlal.
