The incident occurred at a 6-story Building E2, primarily commercial on floors 2-6, offering monthly and daily rental services. Flames were spotted on the ground floor, engulfing three stalls.

 

The ground floor facing east was a warehouse. Firefighters and volunteers struggled to control the blaze due to locked rolling iron doors, requiring tools for access.
