On January 31, as many as 16 scrap godowns were gutted in another massive fire that broke out in the industrial Bhiwandi township of the district.

However, no injury or casualty was reported in the blaze, according to officials. The fire broke out in the Gayatri Nagar locality where a few huts also suffered damages in the mishap.

Today's incident took place almost a month after the devastating Kamala mills fire tragedy that claimed lives of 14 people.

On December 29, a massive fire had broken out at Kamla Mills Compound in the Lower Parel locality of Mumbai killing 14 people and injuring another 30.

Just a week after the Kamala mills mishap, another fire was reported from Cinevista studio in east central Mumbai's Kanjurmarg.
