The Mumbai Fire Brigade will on Thursday send Breach Candy CHS a notice for violation of fire safety norms. The internal fire-fighting system was found to be inoperative when firefighters were dousing the blaze in the last building of the society on Saturday night. The society will get 30 days to straighten things out, said officials.
Prima facie, a short circuit caused the fire, which spread due to two cylinder blasts, on the 12th floor of the ground plus 14-storey building, according to sources. Two people were rescued from the impacted floor through the staircase. The fire brigade extinguished the blaze by 3.30 am on Sunday, after five hours. The rescue operations were delayed due to the vehicles parked near the premises, said sources. The fire brigade officers had to move the vehicle to make way, they added.
