A shed and heaps of dried grass caught fire at Bandekarwada-Morjim in the wee hours of Thursday.
According to reports, the shed owner Subhash Bandekar had bought dry heaps for Rs 10,000 on Tuesday and had stored it in his shed. When fire was lit to a fireplace in a nearby shed for the purpose of boiling boil water, the dry grass caught fire and engulfed the entire heap.
The fire fighters rushed to the site, but had to face many hurdles. They had to demolish a compound wall and use pipes to douse the fire in the two-hour operations, under the guidance of Prashant Dhargalkar.
