A massive fire broke out last night, December 10, at the Silver Cinema Building on Khambatta Street, Ninth Grant Road East, Mumbai.
It was a closed cinema theatre building; however, the blaze was confined to the second and third floors of the 3-storey structure.
The incident was reported to the Mumbai Fire Brigade (MFB) around 11.15 pm. Fortunately, no injuries or casualties were reported during the incident.
Multiple agencies, including the MFB, Police, BEST and municipal ward staff, were swiftly mobilised to handle the situation. The MFB efficiently brought the fire under control and extinguished it by 11:20 pm, just five minutes after it was reported.
Despite this, it primarily affected electric wiring, installations, tarpaulin sheets and other electrical materials within the premises.
Visuals of the blaze have surfaced on the internet showing the structure engulfed in huge flames.
The prompt response by emergency services ensured that the fire was contained before it could escalate, minimising potential damage to the structure and nearby areas.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation, and authorities are expected to conduct further inquiries to ascertain the details.
