Mumbai: Fire breaks out on 10th floor of high-rise building, no casualty reported
The fire brigade officials doused the fire before it could have spread further. The building was vacated as soon as the fire was spooted.
57-storey residential building in south Mumbai's Byculla area caught fire around midnight. "The fire broke out in a flat on the 10th floor of the Monte South building's A wing in the Khatao Mill Compound in Byculla around 11:42 pm," a civic official said on Sunday.
The fire was brought under control at 2.45 am, he said, adding there was no casualty.
While the fire was confined to the 10th floor flat, smoke filled the entire floor, the official said.
Nine fire tenders and other fire brigade vehicles were involved in firefighting operations.
The cause of the fire is not yet known. There were reports that the blaze erupted after suspected short-circuit in one of the flats on the 10th floor of the tower.
