Around 1:23 p.m., the incident was reported at the Casa Aurelia building in Dombivli East’s Phase 2 of the Lodha Palava development.
According to a Times of India article, a short circuit on the eighth level caused the fire, which spread to many apartment complexes.
The report also stated that before the fire got worse, every resident safely left the building. Residents only occupied the third story because it was just built. However, the fire spread to apartments on the eighth floor.

According to a fire brigade official who spoke with the Times of India, the fire extended to the apartment complex’s duct area, where fibre sheets were put on each floor. The fire department arrived on the scene with two fire engines.
At about 2:30 pm, the fire at the incident was totally put out.
