The fire broke out at the property at midnight on Friday. An eye-witness, who asked for his name not to be published, told the Samoa Observer the fire had apparently from inside the building.
“It was around 11pm when I heard loud sounds coming from inside the building and when I ran outside to see what it was, I saw the building on fire,” he said.
“I also saw the security guard who was on duty there running outside when the building was on fire.”
The Fire and Emergency Services Authority was contacted and they arrived immediately.
“There were people who tried to stop the fire but it was too late,” said the witness. “When the Fire Services arrived, there was little they could do. The fire had already consumed the best part of the property.”
The property is located behind the new set up of a gas company in the area.
