How This Class 10 Student Saved Over A Dozen Lives In The Mumbai High-rise Fire Is A Story You Must-know
Four people have died and 20 more are injured as a result of the fire that broke out in a Mumbai high-rise on Wednesday morning
A Class 10 student's presence of mind and her teacher's advice likely led to over a dozen lives being saved
Republic TV has spoken to Zen Sadavarte who has narrated the sequence of events of the blaze
Zen Sadavarte, a 15-year-old Class 10 student, emerged a hero in the fire that broke out in a residential high-rise in Mumbai on Wednesday morning, saving over a dozen lives by taking charge and giving them simple instructions amid the chaos.
Zen, who along with her parents and others, had been in the Crystal Towers building in Mumbai's Parel area when the fire broke out at approximately 8:30 am, told her parents and neighbours to remain calm and shield themselves from the smoke and fire using wet clothes. As a result, they were able to withstand the smoke long enough to be extricated by the fire department's cranes.
Level Three Fire Breaks Out At Residential Building In Parel
Speaking to Republic TV, Zen credited her school teacher who had told her that in the event of a fire, it is essential to remain calm and to use wet clothes. Zen narrated the events of the morning:
"I saw a lot of smoke was emerging. The smoke began entering the house. My teacher had taught me to be calm. She'd also told me to use cotton clothes, to which I added water. This purified the carbon being emitted. Then, to avoid suffocation, one has to duck down", Zen said.
Speaking about who all she advised, Zen listed: "My family, my neighbours -- three families -- it was a time of panic, but we made it. I told both of my neighbours to shut their electricity and to stay calm."
Zen, however, remained adamant that she hadn't saved anyone's life, and that they had helped themselves by following her initiative:
"I didn't save anyone's life. I told them what to do. It was their initiative that led to their lives being saved. Around 16-17 people."
