Thank God no one was hurt! The fire brigade's quick response is commendable. Can't imagine what would've happened if this occurred during store hours 😰

I shop there often! This is so scary. Hope they investigate properly - electrical fires in electronics stores can be especially dangerous. Kudos to all the emergency responders!

While the response was good, I wonder why these malls don't have better fire prevention systems. A Level-III fire means it was serious - shouldn't there be automatic sprinklers?
