4 people on the 6th floor were brought out safely.

Many places on the 6th floor had burned objects.

The firefighting teams approached the scene and broke many layers of glass doors to let the smoke escape.

At the scene, burnt electric wires fell into the dense fire area, many decorative items on the 6th floor, tables, chairs, and electronic equipment were burned and severely damaged.
