The fire broke out at approximately 2:35 PM in the Goldcrest building on LBS Road. Smoke spread rapidly through the building, prompting seven fire engines and other firefighting units to respond. The operation, which lasted more than four hours, concluded around 7 PM. Firefighters managed to rescue the trapped individuals from the terrace via staircases. Many inside were employees engaged in work when the incident occurred.
