Mobilising 21 fire trucks and 51 personnel, firefighters completely extinguished the fire at 11.29 a.m. (local time) before sending in rescuers to the fourth floor to see if anyone needed help.
Fire authorities assume the blaze started at a screen golf facility on the building’s third floor although a probe is needed to determine exactly where and why the fire started.
