“My friend told me that they started calling the fire service since the fire started but after several calls, only one tanker came and it had no water so we had to resort to water from the pipes to douse the flames.”
According to reports from Joy FM, firefighters have battled the inferno but with little success. The cause of the fire is yet to be investigated.
