Dear Editor,
The smell of smoke was detected earlier in the day. Later, it started as a small fire, which could not be contained, and became a conflagration that completely destroyed a four-storey building in the heart of the city.
Many factors might contribute to the cause of the fire not being contained and literally flaring out of control. A little smoke, such devastation.
The lesson here is: if a burning smell is detected, or sparking of electrical items seen, investigate and take the necessary steps to avoid a devastating situation.
My sympathy to all those who suffered this disastrous heartbreak.
Sincerely,
Shamshun Mohamed
