Another fire incident has been reported in the Johannesburg CBD.
This after a fire broke out in a block of flats in Hillbrow this afternoon.
Fire fighters managed to contain the fire to one floor and extinguished the blaze.
In August, 77 people, mostly foreign nationals, died after a fire which raged through an illegally occupied building in Marshalltown.
A total of 12 children died in what is believed to be one of the deadliest fires in South African history.
Johannesburg Emergency Services spokesperson, Xolile Khumalo says, “Fire fighters were able to promptly extinguish the fire before it could spread to other floors. No injuries were reported during this call. A one bedroom flat on the 6th floor was the only apartment affected. The City of Johannesburg is urging all residents to look after all electrical appliances and make sure that they are switched off after use.”
