A fire in Goregaon claimed the lives of three members of a family in the early hours of Saturday. According to the Mumbai Fire Brigade, the incident was reported at 3.06 am from Bhagatsingh Nagar, Rajaram Lane, near Janata Stores in Goregaon West. 

The fire broke out in a ground-plus-one-floor residential structure, triggering panic among residents in the densely populated locality. Fire officials said the blaze was confined to electric wiring and household articles on the ground floor, while on the first floor apparel belonging to three occupants — two males and one female — caught fire. Locals acted swiftly and attempted to control the flames using water buckets even before the fire brigade reached the spot.
