Mumbai: At least 10 vehicles were gutted in a fire that broke out at a ground-plus three-storey building in south Mumbai in the early hours of Friday, an official said.

The incident took place at 4.45 am in Ismail Building on Maulana Azad Road in the congested Bhendi Bazaar area.

Four fire engines along with other equipment were pressed into service to douse the flames.
