Mumbaikars seem to have learned to celebrate a relatively safe Diwali. The trend of the past few years continues as the Mumbai Fire Brigade (MFB) received fewer fire calls during Diwali.

There were 47 calls made in the five days of Diwali between October 26 and 30. A report in this newspaper citing statistics shows that out of the 47, there was only one call that was for a Level 2 fire — which is a medium fire on a scale of 1 to 5, 1 being the lowest and 5 being the highest level. The Level 2 call was from a hutment on Reay Road. The number of fire calls due to firecrackers was limited this year too.
