A significant fire broke out at a chemical company situated in the Taloja Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC) area of Navi Mumbai on Friday, according to reports from news agency ANI. Emergency services were promptly alerted, with three fire tenders immediately dispatched to the scene. Firefighting teams are actively engaged in operations to extinguish the flames and manage the situation. The incident led to a considerable spread of thick smoke into the surrounding localities, raising concerns among residents. Officials have confirmed that, as of now, no casualties have been reported, although the full details of the incident are still awaited. This incident is one of several recent fire emergencies in the region. On Wednesday, a fire occurred at a power loom factory in Khoni village’s Siddharth Nagar area, resulting in one firefighter being injured after a cylinder exploded. Fire officials successfully brought that blaze under control, though its cause is yet to be determined. The following day, Thursday morning, a fire in a 23-storey residential building in Mumbai's Andheri West necessitated the rescue of nearly 40 people. This high-rise fire, which started around 10 am, affected the electrical shaft between the 10th and 21st floors and gutted the 12th, 13th, and 14th floors, including the premises of filmmaker Sandeep Singh. Fortunately, no injuries were reported in the Andheri incident, which the fire brigade brought under control by 11:37 am, with its cause also remaining under investigation.
