What caused the deadly Bank of Lisbon fire in Johannesburg, which claimed the lives of three firefighters?The fire broke out on 5 September 2018 at the Bank of Lisbon in the Johannesburg city center. Three firefighters were killed, and many others were left injured.The three firefighters who were killed in the blaze were Mduduzi Ndlovu and his colleagues Simphiwe Moropane and Khathutshelo Muedi.
It was found that the fire started in the office of Advocate Mpelegeng Lebeloane, Chief Director Legal Services for Gauteng Health, possibly from a heater that was near combustible materials. According to the fire department, the fire could have been contained if an automatic fire suppression system was installed. Another problem was water hoses that did not work.
This, however, is countered by the fact her colleague was the last person to leave her office. There are, however, conflicting accounts about another source of the fire in her office.Bloom also said the glaring gap is the absence of a report by the SA Police Services, who have still not completed their investigation after all this time.He said despite investigation reports that were completed long ago, the provincial government has made no effort to discipline negligent staff.
“We will also pressure the police to conclude their investigation and lay criminal charges where indicated. It is disgraceful this has taken so long, as there needs to be accountability and justice for the families who grieve for the three firefighters who died.”
