Thank God no casualties reported! Fort area is always crowded, this could have been worse. BMC fire brigade deserves appreciation for quick response 👏 Hope they find the cause soon - electrical faults in old buildings are common in Mumbai.

Again a fire incident in Mumbai! When will shop owners learn about fire safety? Many stores in Fort area don't even have basic extinguishers. Authorities should conduct regular checks and impose strict penalties.

My office is nearby and we saw thick black smoke. Traffic was diverted but handled well by police. Mumbai's emergency services are truly tested every day and mostly deliver. Stay safe everyone!

These heritage buildings in Fort area need proper maintenance. Many have illegal wiring and storage issues. Hope the shop owner had insurance - footwear shops usually keep expensive inventory. 😟

While we appreciate fire brigade's work, why does it take incidents like these to highlight safety gaps? BMC should proactively audit all commercial establishments before monsoon season when fire risks increase.

I used to buy school shoes from that shop! So sad to see local businesses affected. Hope they can recover soon. Mumbai's shopkeepers are resilient - they'll bounce back 💪
