ONE News reporter Max Bania said the blaze has almost been put out.

Police have cordoned off Smith St, and part of Moray Place.

A Fire Service spokesperson said there are a number of people unaccounted for, but that is because it is taking a while to pinpoint where everyone was at the time of the fire.

Eight fire appliances were involved in battling the blaze.
