  "account": "Mumbai: An early morning fire erupted in the pantry car of an empty rake of the CSMT–Howrah Express at the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus yard, prompting an initial alert at the railway premises. The blaze was first reported at around 3:40 am, originating in the pantry car of Train number 12261. The railway administration promptly notified the Mumbai Fire Brigade, who arrived at the scene approximately 40 minutes later. Fire tenders managed to quell the flames by 4:05 am, effectively containing the fire to the pantry car and averting any potential spread to adjacent coaches.\n\nThe rake in question was empty and devoid of any passengers at the time of the incident, thereby minimizing the risk of injury or casualties. The exact cause of the fire remains unknown; however, railway officials are conducting a thorough examination of the pantry car to assess the damage and determine the origin of the blaze. A comprehensive inquiry is anticipated to provide a clearer understanding of the incident.\n\nThis occurrence transpires during a period when railway authorities are implementing various safety enhancements across major stations and yards. Given that the rake was unoccupied and the fire was swiftly identified and extinguished, a potentially dire situation was averted. Further insights into the incident are expected once the inspection and inquiry are finalized.",
