Thane: A cat was killed and household property gutted after a fire broke out in a house in Maharashtra's Thane city on Friday, a civic official said.
The blaze erupted in a room on the first floor of a two-storey chawl in the Shastri Nagar area around 10.43 am, said Yasin Tadvi, chief of the regional disaster management cell (RDMC).
While a woman who was in the room at the time escaped unhurt, her pet cat died on the spot, he said.
Also Watch:
Several household objects and electrical wiring were gutted in the blaze, the official said, adding that iron sheets on the roof also collapsed because of the heat.
Personnel from the state-run power company, firefighters and emergency responders reached the scene, and the blaze was soon put out, he said.
