The year 2019 was the busiest year for the city’s fire brigade having reported highest number of emergencies in the last few years. In December, the fire brigade was busy fighting a fire at Andheri’s Saki Naka in Asalpha. It took 48 hours to douse. Additionally, two people were trapped in the building and lost their lives. Few firefighters too were suffocated while dousing the fire.
