​A fire broke out at the Victoria Hotel in Makhanda, commonly known as Grahamstown, situated in the Eastern Cape in the early hours of Friday, 27 November 2020. Six rooms were damaged by the fire and the roof collapsed. No one was injured. Makana Fire Services manager, William Welkom, said a call was received at 00h10am that there was a fire at the Victoria Hotel in New Street. “On arrival, the crew found the building well alight,” Chief Welkom said. “The fire was quickly confined to avoid fire spread to adjacent buildings. The fire was brought under control and damping down procedures commenced. A total of eight fire fighters and five vehicles attended the incident; one vehicle and two fire fighters from the Army, as well as the Rhodes University water truck, along with two Rhodes staff members, assisted. The South African Police Service, Metro Ambulance, Shmart Security, Hitec Security and Makana Electricity Department were in attendance. The crews left the scene at 04h10am. No one was injured and the cause of fire has not yet been determined, Welkom said. “The crews did a great job to avoid fire spread to adjacent buildings.”
