It is said that the fire broke out due to chemicals in the area where the fire broke out. While some have said that the fire broke out in the gas godown. The cause of the fire is not yet clear. However, seeing the fierce form of the fire, a lot of black smoke is coming out. There is no information yet about what caused this fire and whether there was any loss of life due to this fire.
Earlier in the evening, another fire broke out on the 26th floor penthouse in a luxury highrise Anmol Pride in Goregaon west. While here, too, no one was reported as injured, the building was fully evacuated with local MLA Vidya Thakur rushing to the spot. Both fires occurring near Western Express Highway and SV Road threw traffic out of gear leading massive traffic jams.
