Initial probe hints that the fire may have been sparked by a short circuit, though officials say the exact cause will be confirmed after a detailed probe.
At least eight members of a family trapped inside were safely evacuated by emergency teams. No casualties or injuries have been reported, and the building has been cleared of occupants.
Authorities are now conducting a detailed review to assess the extent of the damage and to determine how the fire spread so rapidly.
Those who at the spot termed scenes of chaos and urgency as rescue vehicles, fire engines, and ambulances surrounded the building, while onlookers gathered outside watching firefighters battle the blaze.
