Mumbai's Kohinoor Square Engulfed In Smoke After Restaurant Fire In Dadar West, Firefighters Rush To Spot

Mumbai's Kohinoor Square building, located in the Dadar West area, was engulfed in smoke following a restaurant fire on Monday morning. The Pan Asia Kitchen, a Chinese restaurant on the first floor of the 50-story building, caught fire around 9:18 am. The Mumbai Fire Brigade (MFB) responded to the incident at 9:25 am and declared a Level 1 fire, designating it as a serious but manageable situation.

The building's firefighting system proved effective in this case, as it enabled security guards to contain the blaze and prevent it from spreading. The MFB arrived on the scene swiftly and managed to douse the fire shortly after, extinguishing it completely by 10:38 am. Fortunately, the incident resulted in no injuries.

The fire's cause was attributed to a faulty electric circuit. Upon receiving the alarm, the security guards broke the glass doors to gain access and used fire extinguishers to tackle the flames. Emergency services, including the MFB, municipal staff, the civic health department, BEST workers, public works department personnel, and an ambulance, were all deployed at the site to assist with the response and ensure the safety of the surrounding community.

Kohinoor Square, a prominent mixed-use development in Dadar West, gained notoriety as one of the earliest mega projects in Mumbai. The high-rise building's location near Shivaji Park and Shiv Sena Bhavan made it a focal point for both residents and office-goers alike. As videos of the dense smoke and fire spread across social media, the incident caused widespread panic among those in the vicinity.
