Mumbai: After a fire broke out at a high rise residential building on Carmichael Road on Saturday, Chief Fire Officer (CFO) Prabhat Rahangdale has issued an advisory urging owners of vehicles to service them and look out for damage to electric wiring caused by rodents, which could lead to fires.

The fire on Saturday took place at the parking compound of Usha Kiran building, and caused serious damage to three of the ten cars parked.
