"Three buses were destroyed in the fire. The exact cause of the blaze is still under investigation," a fire official said. Firefighters were successful in preventing the fire from spreading further to other nearby vehicles and structures. The depot, located in a relatively less populated industrial area of Ghansoli, typically sees low foot traffic during early morning hours, which officials say likely helped in avoiding any casualties. Police and fire officials are conducting a detailed investigation to determine the cause of the fire. Preliminary suspicions point toward an electrical short circuit, but confirmation is awaited pending forensic examination.
