Two separate fire incidents were reported in Mumbai's Kandivli East and Ghatkopar West on Wednesday evening, with fire brigade teams ensuring safe evacuation of all residents without any injuries.

Eight family members, including three children, suffered smoke inhalation injuries following an early morning fire in their Kandivli West apartment on Sunday. Fire brigade officials rescued all trapped residents and extinguished the blaze within 20 minutes of arrival.

The recent fatal collapse of a building in Byculla, Mumbai, due to illegal structural extensions, serves as a harsh reminder of the city's ongoing battle with unsafe, unauthorized constructions.
