An early morning fire has left billions of dollars in damages and losses as fire gutted five buildings which housed several businesses on Regent Street in the heart of the city’s commercial district.

Fire men were able to rescue four Chinese Nationals who were trapped in one of the burning buildings. They were pulled out of the building with significant burns about their body.

The cause of the fire is unknown at this time.
