A fire broke out at around 7.45am on Sunday, due to a short circuit at a photocopy-cum-stationary shop, in sector 15, Nerul, officials said. The fire completely charred the shop, destroying the photocopying machine and stationary items in the shop.
“We received the distress call 20 minutes after the fire broke out. One fire engine and water tanker reached the spot immediately and the fire fighting operation began. The fire had however, engulfed a parked motorcycle, causing the fuel tank to explode and the flames spread to the vegetable market,” said Amrutanand Borade, an official at the Nerul fire office.
The plastic shades and bamboo scaffolding of two vegetable shops caught fire, however, there were no casualties, he added.
“We had to summon fire engines and water tankers from CBD and Vashi fire stations as well. It took around 90 minutes to bring the situation under control,” Borade said.
