A fire broke out recently on the set of the popular television show in Film City, Goregaon East, recently. The Mumbai Fire Brigade responded swiftly and the blaze, which had originated in a tent, was brought under control, and no injury was reported.

In a statement, authorities confirmed that the fire was confined to electric wiring, installations, plastic and iron materials, decorative items, cameras, costumes, lighting systems and other studio equipment. While the fire may have broken out despite all safety regulations being adhered to, it throws the spotlight on the need for regular checks at studios and shooting sites to see if they are fire safety compliant.

This is all the more important because highly flammable items, such as props and costumes, are used or stored in these spots. There are also electric wiring, installations and generators on set.
