Due to immediate safety concerns, local authorities initiated an evacuation, resulting in 34 residents being safely evacuated from the premises.
Following the suppression of the fire, the police secured the area to conduct a thorough inspection. While some occupants returned to their residences, others proceeded to visit family members. Initial reports suggest that the cause of the incident was an electrical fault.
