Early in the morning, a fire broke out in the 11-story Orchid Green society in the Shahibaug area.
“Pranjal Jirawala was rescued from the balcony of the seventh-floor apartment by members of the fire brigade. She was taken unconscious to a hospital where she later passed away “Om Jadeja, a divisional fire officer, said. He claimed that at least 40 residents of the building’s upper floors were safely evacuated.
According to Jadeja, the fire was most likely started by overheating electrical wiring because the geyser in the affected apartment’s bathroom was still turned on.
“The fire started in Suresh Jirawala’s apartment, where he lives with his wife and two kids. In addition, his niece was staying with him. She discovered her bedroom was locked when she went to take a shower in the morning. When the fire suddenly broke out and spread to the bedroom, “said Jadeja.
Jirawala, his wife, and their two children fled as the flames grew, but Pranjal became stuck. “She yelled for assistance from the apartment’s balcony, which was protected by an iron grill. Using a ladder and other tools, a group of rescuers descended into the apartment from the eighth floor and cut the grill “said Jadeja.
When the girl was saved, she was unconscious but was responding. Despite being taken to a hospital right away, he continued, she “could not survive as she had suffered from a burning sensation and was also under shock.”
Jadeja reported that 15 firefighting vehicles were used and the rescue effort took 35 to 40 minutes. The fire is under control.
