Officials focus on potential electrical faults following blazes at three Thane sites.

Overview

  • On Friday morning, a fire in the electric server panel of a mobile tower on Indira Pada Hill was brought under control in about an hour with no injuries reported.
  • Firefighters, a rescue team, Disaster Management Cell personnel, and company and electricity department staff responded to the tower incident and fully extinguished the blaze.
  • On Thursday, a meter box room fire at Sai Sudarshan Society in Savarkar Nagar was doused in roughly 30 minutes, damaging 10 meter boxes without harming the building structure.
