A partly constructed apartment in Waimalika, Nadi was destroyed by fire this afternoon.

The incident started at around 1.30 pm.

Two office spaces in the building were occupied by a tenant.

The building owner claims the fire started from the neighbour’s side who were cooking outside.

He says the estimated cost of damage is $70, 000.

The owner also stated that no construction was being carried out on the site for almost a year now.
