A fire broke out in the early hours of Tuesday at the Fortune Enclave, a 15-storey high-rise in Mumbai's Bandra (West) area, leaving an elderly woman hospitalised and nine individuals rescued. The incident occurred at approximately 00:57 hrs, with fire officials receiving the call and declaring it a Level-1 (L-I) fire at 01:18 hrs.
The blaze reportedly began in a flat on the sixth floor of the building, which houses a mix of residential units. Thick smoke and flames were confined to the flat, but the fire posed a serious risk due to the high-rise structure.
