A fire broke out early Thursday morning in a six-storey building in Thane, Maharashtra, causing significant damage to a shop and several vehicles. Fortunately, no injuries were reported in the incident. The fire started at approximately 4:23 am on the ground floor of the building, located in the Siddharth Nagar area of Majiwada.
