As many as eight fire tenders were pressed into service to douse the fire that broke out in the Metro House building in Mumbai's Colaba on Thursday.
Deputy Commissioner, Mumbai Police, Manoj Sharma said the fire brigade department had so far rescued two people.
"The whole building is on fire. We don't know what exactly happened. I wasn't inside. I came back from market and saw this. I have my goods inside," said a resident of the building.
