Fire Erupts at Indo Amines’ Dombivli Facility

On June 12, 2024, a minor fire incident occurred at one of Indo Amines Limited's units, situated at W35, MIDC Phase II, Dombivli East, Thane. The fire broke out during the first half of the day, catching the attention of the facility's safety team and local emergency services. The exact cause of the fire remains undetermined, and investigations are underway to ascertain the reasons behind the outbreak. The fire originated around 10 am at the Malde capacitor manufacturing company, likely due to a suspected short circuit. The fire then spread to the nearby Indo Amine chemical company. The blaze spread quickly, causing several small explosions, and thick plumes of smoke were visible from a distance.

At least two dozen workers were present at both companies when the fire broke out, but they managed to evacuate safely, resulting in no injuries. The prompt and efficient evacuation ensured that all personnel escaped unharmed, demonstrating the effectiveness of the emergency response protocols in place at the facilities.

The response to the incident was swift and efficient. Firefighters were on the scene promptly and worked tirelessly for two hours to bring the blaze under control. Their continuous and coordinated efforts ensured that the fire did not spread to other areas of this facility or cause significant damage. Thanks to the effective emergency response plan and the quick action of the fire brigade, the situation was handled without any injuries or loss of life.
