Mumbai Fire Brigade Responds to Incidents
On Thursday, two different things happened in Mumbai.
First, people in South Mumbai smelled something strange and chemical-like, which made them worried.
The fire department quickly checked the areas where the smell was reported but didn't find any dangerous chemicals or anything unusual.
The reports came from places like Bhulabhai Desai Road, Jaslok, and Sat Rasta, with the first report coming from Surya Apartments near Breach Candy Hospital.
Later in the evening, a big fire started in a storage building in Kurla West.
The fire department sent many fire trucks to put out the fire and make sure it didn't spread to other buildings.
No one was hurt, and the cause of the fire is still not known.
Residents in South Mumbai reported a strange chemical odor on Thursday afternoon, causing panic.
