The blaze, which started around 1 AM, engulfed six two-wheelers parked outside the building. Thick smoke quickly spread to the upper floors, creating panic among residents and occupants of the building.
According to Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) officials, the fire department received an emergency call and rushed fire tenders to the spot. Firefighters acted swiftly and managed to control the flames before they could spread to the interiors of the commercial premises.
