A 16-year-old boy died after a firecracker explosion triggered a fire inside a shop in Mumbai's Malvani area on November 9. The fire, which broke out at around 9:56 pm, involved firecrackers, electrical wiring, and installations stored in a 20-ft x 30-ft shop near Gate No. 8. The explosion caused the shop's slab to collapse, and the boy, initially reported missing, was found dead inside with severe burn injuries. The Mumbai Fire Brigade extinguished the fire by 10:36 pm. This incident occurred amid a series of fire incidents in Mumbai during Diwali, with the fire department receiving over 200 firecracker-related calls between November 6 and 9.
