"Employees were evacuated out of the building as a precautionary measure and at this stage we are just waiting for an assessment to be done to tell us whether employees can go back into the building. There were some employees that needed medical attention," Mthembu.
ER24 paramedics say 15 people have been treated and taken to hospital. Medics say some received treatment for mild smoke inhalation, whilst others sustained burn wounds.
