Mumbai: Defective electric circuit on the 12th floor of Breach Candy Apartments was the probable cause of a major blaze last Saturday night, according to the preliminary findings of the Mumbai Fire Brigade (MFB).
The blaze gutted the entire 12th floor 3BHK flat and also affected another flat on the 13th floor of the 15-storey building. The MFB will also issue a notice under the Maharashtra Fire Prevention and Safety Act, 2006 as the building’s firefighting system was not in a working condition. The fire brigade did not issue a notice on Sunday as the residents wanted their trauma to subside.
Santosh Sawant, deputy CFO, zone 1, said, “Defective electric circuits have many causes.
