Sandown Village office park fire caught on camera
Eyewitnesses watched in horror as the multistorey building went up in flames in the wee hours of Monday, 18 November 2024.
When this article was published, emergency services had managed to contain most of the blaze and remained at the scene to monitor the situation.
The cause of the fire is unknown at this stage and word from Joburg’s fire and rescue services has yet to surface.
Therefore, details about possible fatalities or injuries are scarce.
Images and videos have since surfaced online, showing one wing of the office park completely gutted by the fire.
The building, situated across the road from the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE), on the ever-busy Maude Street, houses several businesses which, from what we understand, remain closed until further notice.
Motorists using the route may find easier travel on alternative routes, as law enforcement officials are expected to conduct more work at the scene of the fire, collecting evidence on a likely cause of the inferno.
