One person died and another was injured while 13 others had to be rescued when a fire broke out in Colaba’s Churchill Chambers on Sunday morning. One of his neighbours inhaled a lot of smoke and had to be moved to an Intensive Care Unit. The incident occurred around noon on Sunday at Colaba’s Churchill Chambers, a ground-plus-three-storey residential building located behind Taj Mahal Hotel. The fire broke out in one of the apartments on the third floor but its source could not be exactly ascertained. “We will have to inspect whether the building had any irregularities,” said Nitin Arte, Assistant Municipal Commissioner of A Ward.
