Mumbai: Fire breaks out at furniture shop in Naigaon area
All the furniture has been burnt in this fire. No casualties were reported in the fire as the shop was closed.
A major fire on Monday gutted the principal’s office and an adjacent record room of the state-run BRD Hospital here, the fire department said.
No loss of life has been reported in the blaze in the hospital, which was in the news last year after scores of infants died at the facility.
“Prima facie, it seems that the fire was caused by a short circuit,” SP (North) Ganesh Saha said.

A committee has been constituted to probe the reasons behind the fire, Chief Fire Service Officer T K Singh said.
Six fire tenders took nearly an hour to control the flames which destroyed important documents in the record room.
The Baba Raghav Das Medical College had hit the headlines in August last year when 63 children, including infants, died within a span of four days when the supply of oxygen was allegedly disrupted due to non-payment of dues to the vendor.
The state government has, however, vehemently denied that shortage of oxygen led to the deaths.
