News24 reports that early on Monday morning a blaze engulfed the second floor of the building housing the Bridge Group of Advocates in Sandown Village, Sandton, causing extensive damage.
Johannesburg Emergency Services spokesperson Nana Radebe-Kgiba advised that firefighters responded to the blaze in the early hours of Monday. "On arrival, firefighter crews found the office park gutted with flames, and the roof collapsed. Fortunately, there were no casualties reported during the incident,” she said. The roof of the top floor was completely destroyed, several windows were shattered, and walls were blackened with soot. Officials in bright yellow overalls and safety helmets were seen evaluating the extent of the damage. An eyewitness indicated that the fire had broken out at around 04:00 on Monday, apparently on the second floor. By the time emergency services arrived, the top floor was engulfed in flames. "I was shocked and didn't know what to do. There are no chambers, no books and nothing left," the witness said. The lower floors were apparently also affected by water damage.
