The Sunday evening incident occurred in what appears to be a densely populated area, surrounded by bystanders and onlookers trying to grasp the magnitude of the situation.
Speaking to an occupant of the affected building, the exact cause of the fire is due to high current in electricity and improper wiring.
As the fire spread through the building, the situation became dire, and onlookers feared for the safety of anyone trapped inside. Fortunately, the local fire department quickly responded to the emergency. The arrival of the firefighters brought much-needed relief to the growing crowd as they immediately began their efforts to control and extinguish the flames.
The firefighters skillfully maneuvered their equipment to tackle the blaze, preventing it from spreading to nearby buildings.
