Thane: A freak fire broke out at an empty wedding venue in the early hours of Sunday in Diva, gutting the nearly 2,400 sq ft stage area. No injuries or casualties were reported. The incident was reported around 4.30 am at the lawn located in Mannat Compound on Khardi Road, hours after a function the previous evening ended and the guests left. “There was no one at the location except a few staff who spotted the blaze and alerted the fire brigade, which rushed to the spot and controlled the fire,” said Yasin Tadvi, of the regional disaster management cell.
