There haven’t been any reports of how many people are affected by the fire, or the cause of the actual fire. According to eyewitnesses, the fire is huge and doesn’t look like it’ll be contained anytime soon. Eyewitnesses also report that firetrucks didn’t show up until the fire was massive and not enough showed up until the building collapsed.
UPDATE: We’ve received information from a trusted source that no one was hurt in the tragic incident, and that it was cause due to an electricity shortage.
