The injuries to the firefighters were believed to be minor. It wasn't clear how badly the civilians were hurt.

Some were rescued off balconies and from windows.
Firefighters doggedly battled the stubborn flames through the overnight hours and past sunrise, encountering hotspots each time they made headway.
