Footage: Fire Rips Through Residential Building in Hazmieh

Dozens of residents were trapped on their balconies on Monday night after a fire ripped through their building in Hazmieh-Mar Takla area.

 

The fire is believed to have been triggered by an electrical malfunction which lead to the overheating of the building's power generator.

 

The Civil Defense units were called in to the scene and tried to contain the flames before spreading to cars parked near the generator.
