Earlier a massive fire broke out once again in the Bhiwandi area of Thane district, near Mumbai, on Sunday, triggering panic across the locality. The blaze erupted in the afternoon at a mattress manufacturing company’s warehouse located in Harihar Compound at Mankoli. The intensity of the fire was such that thick black smoke and towering flames were visible from nearly four kilometres away. Highly inflammable materials such as foam used in mattress production caused the fire to spread rapidly, turning the warehouse into a raging inferno within minutes and threatening nearby structures.
Soon after the incident was reported, multiple fire engines and emergency response teams rushed to the spot from Bhiwandi, Kalyan and Thane. Harihar Compound is known as a major industrial and logistics hub, housing hundreds of warehouses built close to each other. Strong winds further accelerated the spread of flames, resulting in the fire engulfing six to seven adjoining warehouses. Goods worth crores of rupees were destroyed, with officials suspecting the presence of garments, plastic products and other industrial materials stored inside the affected units.
