Two dogs helped rescue two of their brethren trapped in a Mahim flat where a fire broke out on Saturday evening. The fire broke out in the air-conditioner of a third floor flat at four-storey Nitya Sahaya building in Mahim West around 8 pm. The owner of the flat, a 75-year-old woman, is an animal lover and took care of around 13 dogs, all of whom were rescued.

Firefighters said around nine of the dogs managed to get downstairs after the fire broke out. Fire officers later rescued two dogs from the third floor. These two dogs, after coming down, again went back upstairs. Firefighters followed them and rescued two other dogs who were trapped in the flat.
