The official said they have asked the Mumbai police to take action against the unidentified person for raising a false fire alarm and causing panic, reported PTI.
He said the person at around 8.45 pm told them there was a "short circuit" in a flat on the 14th floor of the Mumbai high-rise residential building housing staffers of state government-run GT Hospital, reported PTI.
As per SOP, they sent fire tenders to the spot, where no blaze or smoke was detected, said the official.
Meanwhile, a fire broke out at the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation`s (BMC) Pise Water Pumping Station on Monday evening, leading to a significant impact on water supply across several parts of Mumbai.
