Firefighters, who arrived shortly after the incident was reported around 8:30 AM, are actively battling the blaze, with efforts including smoke diving.

A precautionary police presence is on-site, and although no injuries have been reported, there's a potential risk of explosion due to suspected gas cylinders in the building.
