A fire on Kloof Street, which started above Arnold’s Restaurant, opposite the Lifestyle Centre, has gutted four apartments, and caused damage to a fifth.
According to IOL, the City of Cape Town’s Fire and Rescue Service first received a call at 3:35AM, and it took almost four hours before the blaze could be contained.
The four apartments that sustained the most damage were located on the fifth floor, and no injuries were reported.

On Facebook, a chap called Derrick shared these images on the Vredehoek / Devil’s Peak group, showing the aftermath:
Again, no injuries were reported.
I cannot think of a worse time to have the apartment you live in gutted by a blaze.
