A fire broke out from a kitchen of a sweet shop on the ground floor of Queens’ Mansion on Friday afternoon
“The fire broke out from an air-conditioner. One of the doors has been sealed,” said an employee at the shop.
Residents from the floors above evacuated the building, as firefighters tried to control the flames inside the shop.
Two fire tenders were pressed into service to douse the blaze.
The cause of the fire is yet to be ascertained. No casualties have been reported yet, officials said.
