Kurla Motor-Parts Row Fire Doused After Dawn in Mumbai

No injuries were reported, pending a determination of the cause.

Overview

  • Flames erupted around 2:42 am near the gurdwara on CST Road in Kapadia Nagar and were classified as a Level II blaze minutes later.
  • About 15–20 shops and storage units holding automobile spares, tyres, wiring and scrap were gutted across roughly 3,000 square feet.
  • More than ten fire brigade vehicles, including jumbo tankers and fire engines, fought the blaze for hours before full extinguishment at 7:24 am, followed by cooling operations.
  • The BMC said adjacent structures were protected by the prompt response, with no casualties reported and an investigation underway to establish the source.
  • The Mumbai Traffic Police temporarily closed the SCLR southbound for firefighting access and later restored traffic, as a separate Worli apartment fire the previous night was contained with residents evacuated safely.
