CCTV news client news In the early morning of August 31 local time, a fire broke out in a building in the central business district of Johannesburg, South Africa. A spokesman for the Johannesburg Emergency Rescue Department in South Africa said that the building that caught fire was used as a shelter for many homeless people. After the fire broke out, many people tried to escape, but because the fire escape was closed, the casualties increased.
Fire survivor Noble Zwane: The escape process was very difficult. Some residents’ beds blocked the corridor, but I managed to escape with my children. My two kids are 13 and 2 and we managed to get out despite inhaling quite a bit of smoke. Sadly, many people were killed in the flames.
Fire survivor Kenny Bupe: In fact, the fire escape was closed. Many people suffocated to death because of the smoke. Many people crowded at the door, and some doors were closed.
