At least one person on Twitter thinks it's electrical fault(s), as the place was Not To Code in 2016.

I am glad to know you are not affected by it! Have you gotten a Dreamwidth account yet?

Yes, they also talked about an exploding fridge, but one terrifying thing is that the fire spread up the side of the building and circled it incredibly fast. It looked as if accelerants must have been used, but now the story is that the cladding that the landlord had applied recently might have been inflammable.

Yes, I'm now on Dreamwidth as well, but I haven't got much of a friends list there, yet, and LJ feels a bit like coming home (ok, I'm daft, but it's been grim couple of years. I needed to be back here.)

Understandable. I always come back here too -- but I crosspost from DW. ...you may not want to use the "Experimental posting page" or whatever they're calling it, though, because it does not yet save drafts. It's otherwise awesome. But draft-saving is only on the original posting page, I guess.
