The fire was extinguished at 8.10 pm.
"But it raises a serious issue of not having a fire station in a crowded area like Andheri. The fire tenders either come from Irla fire station or Oshiwara fire station. The fire tenders reached late to the spot due to traffic jams, rain, and crowd in Lokhandwala market. Though the major incident is averted, it might turn into the worst situation," said Dhaval Shah of the Andheri Lokhandwala Resident Association.
