Emergency officials say the blaze apparently started in an office block, on the second floor.

"Information received from eThekwini Fire and Rescue Services is that the fire was contained to one of the air conditioning systems and that they managed to extinguish the blaze. There were no injuries sustained," Crisis Medical's Kyle Van Reenen said. 

Van Reenen says there was also minimal damage to the property. He says this is the third fire that they've responded to since Tuesday.

"Last night we attended to a fire in Kenville.The blaze completely gutted a family home. Luckily, there were no injuries sustained. The night before in Durban North, a old wooden iron house also caught fire. The fire ravished through the entire property but there were no injuries sustained," he said.
