Hookah embers from Mojo's likely cause of blaze at Kamala Mills: reports

Mumbai: A week after the deadly Kamala Mills blaze in which 14 people died, the fire brigade department on Friday came out with their report concluding that flying embers from lighted charcoal used in the hookah at the Mojo’s Bistro probably led to the fire.

The fire department report clearly states that the source of the fire was from Mojo's restaurant and not 1 Above.

The report claims that the embers came in contact with the decorative curtains at the restaurant, which were combustible in nature, thus causing the fire to spread rapidly, fanned through a pedestal fan. It also states that high-velocity winds and combustible decorative furniture spread the fire rapidly.
