Five firefighters were injured tackling the blaze at the City Centre mall in Nagpada, South Mumbai. The fire, which started on Thursday night and was doused after 22 hours, forced the evacuation of 3,500 residents of the adjacent 55-storey residential tower.

The Mumbai Fire Brigade (MFB) received the call around 8.30 pm and rushed 24 fire engines and 16 jumbo water tankers to the site. Over 250 personnel from MFB, including chief fire officer and three deputy fire officers, and police also arrived. Six additional water tankers with employees of the BMC's hydraulic department were later deployed for continuous water supply.
