A fire broke out Wednesday on the 12th floor of a residential building in Mumbai, India's financial and entertainment capital, killing four people and injuring 22 others, including two firefighters, officials said. Dozens of people were rescued from the 17-story Crystal Tower building, a fire official said. Rahangdale said he asked police to seal the building and arrest its owner because firefighting equipment including water hydrants, sprinklers and hose couplings were malfunctioning in the building. The 20 others were being treated for smoke inhalation and burns and were in stable condition, he said. Fires are common in India, where building laws and safety norms are often flouted by builders and residents.
