Mumbai Goregaon Fire: The Mumbai Police and Fire Brigade have begun investigating the fire incident. A sombre atmosphere has descended upon the entire area following the accident.
A deeply tragic incident has been reported from Mumbai, the country’s financial capital. Three members of the same family lost their lives in a fierce fire that broke out at a residential house in Bhagat Singh Nagar, Goregaon West, early on Saturday morning. The deceased include a 19-year-old woman and a 12-year-old child. The incident has left the entire neighbourhood in mourning.
According to the Mumbai Fire Brigade (MFB), the fire was reported around 3:06 AM. The incident occurred in a single-story house located in Bhagat Singh Nagar. The fire initially started in the electrical wiring and household items on the ground floor and quickly spread to the first floor.
Even before the fire brigade arrived, neighbours bravely attempted to douse the flames with buckets of water. Upon receiving the information, fire tenders reached the spot and brought the fire under control after disconnecting the electricity supply. The fire was completely extinguished by 3:16 AM, but by then, it was too late.
The three individuals trapped inside the house were immediately rushed to Goregaon's Trauma Care Hospital with the help of a police van and private vehicles. However, upon arrival at the hospital, doctors declared them dead.
The three victims of this accident belonged to the same family and have been identified as Sanjog Pavaskar (48 years), Harshada Pavaskar (19 years), and Kushal Pavaskar (12 years).
