The fire started on the 12th floor from an electrical short circuit in an air conditioner. At the time, the entire building was engulfed in flames to the extent that the damage reached the 25th floor, close to the top of the roof, and before the fire, the building was in a very dangerous state, lacking fire prevention facilities such as sprinklers.
