MUMBAI: A fire broke out at the 15th floor of a commercial highrise in Nariman Point on Wednesday evening. An entire office in the 17-storey Earnest House building at NCPA Marg was destroyed in the fire that lasted for nearly 45 minutes.

Fire brigade officials confirmed that there were no casualties as the office was empty when the fire started, around 8.30pm. Eight fire engines and six water tenders were pressed to douse the blaze. "We used only one hydrant to put out the fire. The office belongs to Nakoda Developers. No one was inside the office when the fire started," said a fire brigade official said.

While the building is for commercial use, its 16th and 17th floors are residential, said the official. Though there was panic after the fire broke out, the officials said that they brought the blaze under control before it could spread to any other part of the building.

In June this year, four people had died and at least nine were injured when a fire broke out in the back-end office of a bank in Andheri. The blaze that had erupted at the eight-storey IBL House in MIDC due to a short-circuit in an air-conditioner compressor, spewed thick smoke and quickly saturated the building, causing the fatalities. As for the Earnest House fire, the officials said it would be premature to comment on what could have started it.
