The fire ignited on May 15th 2025, sending shockwaves through the community as what started as a manageable blaze rapidly escalated into a devastating inferno.

Firefighters faced numerous challenges, including a lack of adequate water pressure and the building's age, which lacked modern fire safety codes.
