A fire broke out at an electricity department's office in Maharashtra's Thane city, but there has been no report of any casualty, an official said on Sunday.
The fire erupted around 10 pm on Saturday in the Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Limited's (MSEDCL) office in Wagle Estate locality, Thane civic body's regional disaster management cell chief Santosh Kadam said.
Two fire engines, police, and the disaster management cell staff rushed to the spot. The fire was brought under control within an hour, he said.
"There was no casualty. The cause of the fire and the extent of damage is yet to be ascertained," the official said.
