The immediate response of personnel of the Fire Service and efforts of residents prevented the fire from spreading to other parts of the building.
A victim, who gave her name only as Cynthia told Nhyira News victims have lost everything to the fire.
The fire occurred at the time the majority of police officers had left for work.
A few who were at home looked dejected and stranded as they began to count their loss.
Meanwhile, the fire provided a field day for thieves and intruders who looted other floors that were not affected by the fire.
Laptops, undisclosed amounts of money and other valuables were said to have been stolen by the unscrupulous persons who pretended to help douse the fire.
Personnel of the Fire Service at the scene say investigations have commenced into the fire.
