Mumbai witnessed two significant fire incidents on Monday, one at the Mankhurd Mandala scrap godowns and another at a residential high-rise in Bandra West. Fortunately, no casualties were reported in either case, though one elderly woman was hospitalised for suffocation-related issues.

The first incident occurred at the Mankhurd Mandala scrap godowns, where a massive fire broke out and took over eight hours to extinguish. The blaze, which spread across more than 10,000 square feet, posed significant challenges for firefighters due to the flammable materials stored in the area, such as electric wires, clothing, and other scrap items. The Mumbai Fire Brigade classified the site as a high-risk zone, citing its load-bearing tin sheds as a recurring obstacle during firefighting operations.
