A fire broke out at a godown in the residential-cum-commercial area of Mumbai on Tuesday morning. However, no casualties were reported till the filing of this report.
Eight fire tenders and six water tankers reached the spot to douse the flames at the warehouse of Eastel Metal Company in the Kalachowki area. The fire-fighting operation is underway.
Thick black smoke could be seen from far even as police cordoned off the area leading to the fire site.
