Fire breaks out in room on 15th floor of Andheri West high-rise; no injuries reported

A fire broke out in a room on the 15th floor of a high-rise called Runwal Tower, near Lokhandwala Bridge in Andheri West, Mumbai, on Saturday night. The building has G+32 floors.

According to preliminary information, the Mumbai Fire Brigade (MFB) was alerted at 9.50 pm. Fire brigade personnel, police, Adani Electricity staff, 108 ambulances and ward staff were quickly sent to the spot, so people from several departments reached the site.

No injuries have been reported in the incident so far. The cause of the fire is not yet known. Further information on the extent of the damage is awaited.

Local residents said the fire was in the area near Infinity Mall, close to Link Road. They appealed to the public to avoid P. Tandon Marg so that fire engines could reach the spot without delay.

The Andheri Lokhandwala Oshiwara Citizens Association put out a post on the social media platform X. In it, the association raised again the long-pending demand for a separate fire station at Chitrakoot Ground in the area. According to the association, this demand has remained unfulfilled since the time of the 1991 Development Plan.
