“The cause of the fire is still being investigated,” he said.
Short clips of the fire taken from nearby buildings and shared on social media, showed what looked to be like debris engulfed in flames falling from the top floor.
According to a witness who wished to remain anonymous, she said she heard a loud explosion prior to seeing the falling debris.
“It sounded like firecrackers. I saw debris fall twice,” she said.-FMT
