Pune, December 16, 2025: A major fire caused a brief period of panic among residents of Maestro’s Phase 2 residential building on Salunkhe Vihar Road in Wanowrie after a blaze erupted on Monday night around 10 PM. While the fire damaged four parked vehicles, the timely intervention of the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) fire brigade prevented the flames from escalating into a catastrophic residential disaster.
The incident originated on the ground floor of the building, specifically in the area designated for electric meters.

Authorities confirmed that the swift action of the fire brigade helped avert a potentially serious situation, providing immense relief to residents and building management. Crucially, no injuries or casualties were reported in the incident. The affected area was secured as a precaution, and officials are slated to conduct a detailed inspection to ascertain the exact cause of the blaze, which remains unconfirmed at this time.
