Blaze rips through Durban building

Strong winds were fanning the blaze in the building, commonly known as 320 West Street, as fire fighters from the eThekwini Metro Fire Brigade struggled to get it under control.
Jamieson said he was not aware of any injuries or fatalities.
The cause of the fire in the office block was not immediately known and there was no immediate comment from the fire brigade.
