Minor Fire at Mankhurd Scrap Yard in Mumbai With No Injuries Reported

Officials classify it as a Level-1 blaze confined to combustible scrap on an open plot.

Overview

  • Firefighters responded to an open scrap yard along GM Link Road in the Mandala–Kurla belt and contained the blaze to the site.
  • The Mumbai Fire Brigade designated the incident as Level-1, which signals a localized fire that needs a multi-unit response to prevent spread.
  • Crews deployed four fire engines, five jumbo tankers, two aerial water tower tenders, a quick response vehicle, and a 108 ambulance.
  • Officials reported no injuries and said dousing operations continue as teams check nearby yards for any risk.
  • Materials burning included oil cans, plastic, dry waste, and stacked wood, a mix that has fueled repeat low-intensity fires in this scrap corridor; the cause remains under investigation.
