Fires Break Out in Mumbai Buildings
On December 27, 2025, two fires happened in Mumbai.
The first was at a mall in Andheri West in the afternoon, and the second was at a big office building in Santacruz East early in the morning.
Both times, firefighters and other helpers came quickly to put out the fires.
No one was hurt in either fire.
The first fire's cause is still unknown, but the second one started because of electric problems.
The mall is near a cinema and tall buildings, and the office building is in the Kalina area.
People were worried because the smoke from the mall fire could be seen from far away.
