"The blaze erupted on the ninth floor and was extinguished within a few minutes. There was no major loss of property," a senior civic official said.

The blaze – noticed at around 9 pm and reported to the fire brigade at 9:04 pm – broke out on the ninth floor terrace garden of Antilia.

Assistant Divisional Fire Officer KD Ghadigaonkar said the blaze was extinguished by the building staffers with one small line of fixed fire fighting systems and fire extinguishers, even before the fire brigade team reached there.

An official said the fire was confined to a 4G antenna.

A mobile tower on the ninth floor terrace caught fire and to douse it, three fire engines, two ladder vehicles and one water tanker were pressed into service
