Thane: A major fire recently broke out across three floors of a residential building located at Raheja Garden in Thane, producing heavy smoke and triggering an urgent emergency response. Local fire brigade personnel successfully rescued roughly 50 individuals from the premises during the incident.
Residents were forced to evacuate the building as thick smoke filled the area. Thorough safety inspections and necessary repair work had to be completed before occupants were permitted to return to their homes.
Preliminary investigations indicate that the fire originated in the lift lobby. Authorities believe the blaze was likely ignited by a rocket firecracker that burst inside the residential complex.
In the wake of this dangerous incident, the Thane District Collector announced a strict ban on all aerial and airborne fireworks. The restriction remains in effect from November 9 through January 8 to prevent similar hazards.
