A major blazed occurred on Thursday morning at a bungalow in the Kino Cottage area in Versova. Officials from the Mumbai Fire Brigade have been deployed at the site of the blaze. No injuries have been reported.
Locals Sushil and Nina Saini, who live next to Kino Cottage, first spotted smoke emanating from the bungalow. According to eyewitnesses, within minutes, the entire bungalow was engulfed in the fire.
Over six fire brigades immediately rushed to the spot, but were unable to enter the premises, as the entrance gate was narrow. At the time of going to press, the flames had been brought under control. There was no information on the number of human causalities. Sources said that a short circuit inside the premises had led to the fire.
