“Unfortunately, the generator that caught fire was thrown into other side of the road causing fire on a large scale such that the effects have started causing collapse of about two buildings.

“Three casualties are receiving treatment from agency paramedics. The emergency responders are currently combating the fire so as to mitigate the inferno from spreading to other buildings.
