Soon after receiving information about the incident, fire department teams reached the location with multiple vehicles and began efforts to contain the flames.
Officials focused on preventing the fire from spreading to neighbouring apartments and other sections of the tower. Emergency personnel also worked to ensure the safe evacuation of residents from affected areas of the building.
