Bloody hell, hope everyone got out safe. That's right near the uni halls too.

Another fire in the student area? Wonder if it's dodgy wiring or just someone being stupid again.

I heard it was a rental flat, probably dodgy wiring tbh.

Saw the smoke from my place. Scary stuff. Glad everyone is accounted for.

maybe check your own flat's wiring before it's too late.

Hope the fire crews are okay too, must have been hectic with reports of people inside.

nah, they'll be fine. They train for this stuff. Just glad no one died.

I live on Dundas St and my power flickered around that time. Coincidence?

Casey Adams2026-06-13T23:42:17.000Z

just a coincidence. But worth asking the fire service if they know the cause yet.

Check your smoke alarms people! Especially in these old flats. Could've been worse.

Was just walking past there this morning, still smelled like smoke. Crazy how fast it spread.
