Fire Service Averts Major Incident After Water Tanks Catch Fire at Mapusa Fish Market

Mapusa: A sudden blaze erupted at the Mapusa fish market building, engulfing water tanks on the 3rd floor in flames in the wee hours of Wednesday. The incident, near the municipal complex, prompted a swift response from the Mapusa Fire Station, which is already equipped with a new, fully-equipped Water Tender to tackle such emergencies ¹.

The fire department is yet to release on the cause of the fire. However, concerns are rising over the market’s fire safety measures, given the recent revelations about outdated fire hydrants and poor waste management practices.
