At least six firemen were injured and many people were feared trapped when a major blaze engulfed a 27-storeyed residential tower in south Mumbai late Friday evening, officials said.

Details of the number of residents trapped inside the building in the posh Kemps Corner area of south Mumbai were not immediately available.
