Despite the devastation, the company confirmed that everyone is safe. "As long as everyone is safe, that is what truly matters," the owner, June, wrote on social media.

According to her account, some colleagues bravely tried to control the fire and even rescue important company documents and laptops. However, the flames spread too quickly, and the team was urged to evacuate for their own safety.

"No property is ever worth risking a life," she said.

Multiple units from Bomba, along with police and ambulance teams, arrived within minutes and worked tirelessly to contain the fire

June expressed deep gratitude for their professionalism and courage.
