In a fire that broke out in a multi-storey building in Thane, the doors of two flats were gutted. The blaze erupted early on Tuesday in a six-storey building in which the main doors of the flat were gutted, an official told PTI. 


The official further told the news agency that no one was hurt. 


Yasin Tadvi, chief of the Thane Municipal Corporation's Regional Disaster Management Cell (RDMC), told PTI that the blaze erupted in the building around 3.30 am and added that it is located in Oswal Park on Pokhran Road in the Majiwada area of the city. 


A report in the news agency quoted Tadvi as saying, "The fire destroyed the main doors of two flats on the second floor and also affected the internet and CCTV cables in the passages on the second and third floors. Timely action by the firefighters and the RDMC personnel prevented the fire from spreading further."

He further said that the fire was brought under control by 3.55 am and that they are currently conducting a probe to determine the cause of the fire.

“The fire was confined to the main cable of the air suction motor in the ICU on the ground floor plus the upper three-floored hospital building. As a precautionary measure six patients of the ICU Ward were shifted to a nearby casualty ward in the presence of doctors,” said the Disaster Management Unit of BrihanMumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) said.
