Goldfingers strip club went up in flames just after midnight on Tuesday morning. Police are currently treating the fire as suspicious.
Thus far, the police believe there are three if not more people unaccounted for in the fire. Lately, the abandoned building has become a place of refuge for some squatters.
As the police tend to the situation, they surmise that this can be seen as suspicious activity. While they have little information about the Goldfingers strip club, they urge the public to come out with information.
According to 9News, it took about 50 firefighters to take out the blaze. Even then, the fire could not be put out. This comes as the fire continued for several hours.
Right now, firefighters have not been able to go into the building to find any survivors. This comes as the Goldfingers building had suffered immense damage with floors that collapsed.
“The severity of the fire has restricted fire crews from making a normal entry to search for people.”
