People from 3rd world countries don't always understand simple safety. They probably had a cooking fire in their apartment.

I don't know anything about this fire. I do know a lot about fire. To spread a fire up 27 stories from one source would have taken a LOT of fuel. Fuel can be: gasoline, untreated wood and siding. Lack of fire breaks in the walls. Untreated furniture. OR Time. From the looks of it, it looks like it filled all floors quickly, because a slower fire would burn itself out before moving to the next fuel source and it could be contained. I have been on 2000 square acre fires, it was 105 degrees, 6% humidity, August, started on a hillside, wind was making a chimney effect. It still took an hour to get there. And weeks to put it out.
