A resident informed the Record of a fire she had witnessed while travelling on Goldman Street on the morning of Monday 23 September.
The resident sent photos of the aftermath of a fire and a firetruck on scene to the Record without comment or complaints. Getting in touch with this resident after her emails proved an impossible task, so the Record journalist set out to see what was done about the fire.
The time the fire broke out at 43 Goldman Street is uncertain.
According to Nana Radebe, Joburg Emergency Services (EMS) spokesperson, it was not a big fire.
“It wasn’t a life-threatening situation.
“With the fire brigade’s arrival on scene they found that it was just old rubble and old clothes burning on an empty lot.
“The fire brigade on scene took control of the fire and extinguished it before anyone got injured.”
The JMPD and Florida police can not comment on the incident yet.
