The flat in the aftermath of the blaze
A firecracker lit during a wedding procession caused a residential apartment in Malad East to go up in flames on Sunday evening. According to the police, the blaze broke out on the eighth-floor flat after a rocket landed inside a bedroom.
The fire spread via clothes that were hanging in the balcony. Significant damage was done to the bedroom, balcony, an air conditioner and furniture. The residents of the flat were not at home at the time of the incident and thankfully, the fire brigade managed to extinguish the fire before it could spread further.
