Mumbai, India, has seen a troubling increase in fire incidents, with at least sixteen major fires reported in the past month, resulting in one death and two injuries. The fires have occurred in various locations, including residential towers, scrapyards, and even at the Mumbai airport. Experts attribute this surge to rising temperatures and the increased electrical load from cooling appliances. Dr. Deepak Ghosh, Deputy Chief Fire Officer at the Mumbai Fire Brigade, noted that the demand for electricity spikes in summer, leading to overheating and potential short circuits. The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has responded by issuing advisories urging citizens to inspect their electrical systems and avoid practices that could exacerbate fire risks, such as burning dry leaves and garbage. Chief Fire Officer Ravindra Ambulgekar emphasized the importance of keeping emergency exits clear to facilitate firefighting efforts. The BMC's advisory highlights the need for regular fire safety audits to prevent accidents and ensure safety in homes and commercial establishments.
