Minutes later, fire from the apartment blazed fiercely out of the windows, sending black smoke into the hallway.

Apartment building management staff quickly ascended the floors to alert residents to evacuate, while also approaching the burning apartment. Some individuals attempted to extinguish the fire by spraying water from below with hoses.

Many fire trucks and over 20 firefighters arrived at the scene. Firefighters supported on-site personnel in extinguishing the blaze and preventing its spread.
