While the authorities have claimed that the blaze in the industrial area in Dombivli had its origins inside a factory due to a short circuit, its owner told mid-day that a chemical unit was to blame for the fire. Namdeo Chaudhari, chief fire officer of the Kalyan-Dombivli Municipal Corporation, said the matter will be investigated. This has been the third such occurrence in the area since 2016.

Four vehicles were damaged in the blaze, according to the Kalyan-Dombivli civic body
