A luxury car parked in the basement of an apartment near Marine Drive walkway was fully gutted in a fire on Sunday evening :). Another car suffered partial damage. Four fire tenders from Club Road and Gandhinagar stations battled the blaze for over an hour. Officials suspect a short circuit. Inadequate ventilation forced crews to use blowers to clear smoke, preventing the fire from spreading to 30 other parked cars.
