BKC Metro Station Fire Incident
A fire erupted in the basement of the BKC Metro Station in Mumbai on November 15, leading to the suspension of train services. Fortunately, there have been no reports of casualties. The fire started around 1:10 PM and was primarily contained to wooden sheets, furniture, and construction materials located about 40-50 feet underground. As a result, smoke filled the surrounding area, raising concerns among commuters and local residents.
Firefighting Efforts Underway
Firefighting operations are currently in full swing, with multiple agencies responding to the situation. Eight fire engines and various firefighting vehicles have been dispatched to the site to manage the blaze. Personnel from the Mumbai Fire Department, Mumbai Police, Adani Power, and local administrative wards are actively involved in extinguishing the fire. Senior officials from the fire department are present on-site, coordinating efforts to ensure that the fire is brought under control as quickly as possible.
Passenger Services Halted
Due to the smoke and ongoing firefighting efforts, passenger services at the BKC station have been temporarily halted. Authorities have advised commuters to use the Bandra Colony station for alternative metro services. In a recent update, it was confirmed that senior officials from both the Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation and the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation are on-site to manage the situation. This incident follows a similar fire event at the Mandai Metro station in Pune last month, which thankfully resulted in no injuries.
