Video evidence from security cameras and eyewitness recordings has provided crucial clues in determining the origin of the Koder House fire, with officials now pointing to the adjacent property as the likely source of the blaze.
The Electrical Inspectorate stated that flames appear to have spread from the terrace of the neighbouring building to Koder House, based on visual documentation collected from CCTV systems and mobile phone footage captured during the incident.
Initial investigations suggest a short circuit in an air conditioning unit may have ignited the fire. However, authorities have indicated that more comprehensive forensic analysis will be required to conclusively establish the exact cause of the outbreak.
The findings represent a significant development in understanding how the fire spread and will likely inform preventive measures in similar residential settings. Officials are continuing their examination of both buildings as part of the ongoing investigation into the incident.
