Been catchin up on the news and came across this article:

"A witness said he had spoken to the building’s owner: "He told me the fire started because of a short circuit in the air-conditioning. Ironically the air con was due to be replaced because they knew it needed fixing and said they were going to get a new one."
Looking at the pics appears they had splits and VRF's as you can see the outdoor units:

Very first picture taken at the rear of the building you can see the VRF units.
Last picture seems to be taken at the rear of the building from another roof, notice all the splits on the roof next door, these were all destroyed by the fire it seems.
Just wondered if anyone else had come across anything similar before with buildings on fire and a/c as the main suspect.
Would this sort of building had fan coil units or ducted systems being such an old building?
