One person has reportedly sustained serious injuries following a fire in Central Johannesburg.

It’s reported that a man jumped off the 10th floor window and landed on the 6th floor of a building on the corner of Commissioner and Jourbert Streets.

The man is being treated for his injuries.

Johannesburg Emergency Services spokesperson, Robert Mulaudzi, says it’s unclear what started the blaze.

“We managed to contain the blaze. At this stage, the cause of the fire is still subject to investigation. We just want to encourage our residents in the city to look after any heating device which might cause a fire at home so we can prevent fire incidents like this one,” says Mulaudzi.
