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.

After the incident report, fire engines and emergency teams from Bhiwandi, Kalyan, and Thane reached Harihar Compound, a major industrial hub. Strong winds spread the fire, engulfing 6-7 warehouses and destroying crores worth of goods, suspected to be garments, plastics, and industrial materials. Firefighters struggled with foam, chemicals, and smoke, hindering rescue. The area was cordoned off, and workers evacuated. Fewer Sunday employees prevented casualties.
