Fire at Navi Mumbai Mattress Factory Causes Damage; No Casualties Reported
A major fire broke out on Sunday morning at a foam mattress manufacturing factory in Navi Mumbai's Rabale MIDC area, causing significant damage to machinery and stock. Firefighters from multiple local stations responded promptly, successfully containing the blaze and preventing it from spreading to nearby units. No casualties were reported. The factory stored highly flammable foam materials, which contributed to the fire's rapid spread. Authorities are investigating the cause, which remains unknown.
