Gas cylinders explode after massive fire breaks out in Mira Road huts

A major fire erupted on Thursday in multiple tin-roofed huts built for labourers in the Sheetal Nagar area of Mira Road, near Mumbai. The fire caused two to three gas cylinders to explode; however, no injuries have been reported. The huts had been temporarily set up on an open plot to house construction workers. Around noon, a short circuit in one of the huts sparked the fire. At the time, two to three labourers were present inside. The fire brigade arrived promptly and managed to bring the blaze under control.
