All,

A major fire broke out at a hi-rise building called the Lotus Business Park in India (Mumbai area) this morning. There were no reports of any civilian casualties yet as people working in the offices were quickly evacuated by the Fire brigade. 

However Fire Brigade, Navy and Coast Guard personnel are attempting to rescue Firefighters trapped on the terrace of building. One Firefighter has reportedly died in the Line of Duty and others may be seriously injured in the incident. Rescue operations are in progress to rescue several firefighters, who are still stuck on the terrace of Lotus building. Reports are that around 15-20 firefighters were/are trapped. 

Dramatic video footages shows Navy and and Coast Guard helicopters lowering ropes on the rooftop to help the trapped Firefighters. - See more at:
