Mabaso says a restaurant employee had sustained minor injuries.
“Emergency services were called on scene to find that it was a chimney that was on fire.”
Mabaso adds that the fire was contained to the chimney and there was no other reported damage.
“The restaurant owner or rather the staff managed to extinguish the fire without it spreading”.
