Overview
- A fire broke out in an air‑conditioning unit on the sixth floor of the 11‑storey Manisha Building in Juhu on Thursday morning and was classified as a Level‑1 call after crews arrived.
- The Juhu blaze was confined to the AC unit, multiple fire engines and emergency agencies responded, and authorities reported no deaths.
- A separate fire in the meter‑box room of Ganesh Krupa Society in Kashish Park, Thane, was reported around midday, power was cut as a precaution, and firefighters extinguished the blaze with no injuries.
- Teams from the Mumbai Fire Brigade, Thane municipal disaster cell, police and the private power distributor coordinated the responses and are now investigating exact causes and assessing property damage.
- Electrical faults in air‑conditioning units, meter rooms and building wiring are common ignition points in the region, and officials say these incidents will likely trigger checks of wiring, meters and maintenance protocols across local high‑rises.
