Months after mid-day highlighted the demand of Vikhroli East residents for a mini fire station, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) is finally making their wish a reality. The facility is being built near the Eastern Express Highway and is expected to become operational after the requisite fire brigade personnel are recruited.

Currently, there is only one fire station at Vikhroli West, on Lal Bahadur Shastri Marg. The road, however, is always congested and the redevelopment of old buildings at Kannamwar Nagar and Tagore Nagar in the east have increased the need for a fire station in the area.
