No one was injured in the fire that could be seen from a long distance, Thane Municipal Corporation's regional disaster management cell chief Santosh Kadam said.
The blaze erupted around 5 am in the ground-plus-two-storey godown located at Walgaon in Bhiwandi town and the thick smoke soon engulfed the entire locality, he said.
Two fire engines and a jumbo water tanker were rushed to the spot, the official said, adding that efforts were still on to control the blaze.
