Clouds of smoke were seen at the luxury Michelangelo hotel in Sandton on Wednesday as a fire broke out in the kitchen of a nearby eatery. It was quickly contained, said Johannesburg emergency services spokesperson Nana Radebe.
“It took us five minutes to extinguish the fire.”
According to Radebe, parts of a kitchen caught fire. Michelangelo staff said guests were evacuated as a precaution and no one was injured or hotel property damaged.
An update on the Sandton fire: the fire started at one of the adjacent restaurants and not at the hotel itself. A precautionary evacuation took place. We are happy to report no damage to our property and all are safe. Thank you to the Fire Department for their swift response.
