Mumbai Police and the Fire Brigade have launched a joint investigation into a fatal fire in Goregaon West that killed three family members. The fire, which started shortly before midnight, ravaged a residential unit in a densely populated neighborhood. Forensic teams are currently examining the site to determine the exact origin of the spark. Preliminary findings point toward an overloaded electrical circuit. Safety experts noted that the building’s fire alarms failed to activate, delaying the response of the residents. As the community mourns the loss of the Kumar family, civic officials are under pressure to implement mandatory fire drills and inspections in all residential complexes to prevent such preventable disasters in the future.
