No casualty was reported. This is the second fire in a week after a high rise in Powai that led to massive destruction. That fire was triggered by a short circuit in the air conditioner too, and resulted in the death of 7 civilians.
The city lost 4 of its senior fire brigade officials to another fire in Kalbadevi last month.
Incidents like these have underlined the lack of awareness among citizens as well as lapses on part of the fire brigade and BMC.
