# Fire safety officials from the City of Cape Town will especially investigate how the fire spread from the Old Assembly to the New Assembly. The mayoral committee member for Safety and Security, JP Smith, says there could have been a second point of fire origin or the fire could have spread through the air-conditioning system. Initial findings pointed to potential maintenance problems because some of the sprinklers were due for a service in 2020. Investigators were unable to find records confirming that the service was carried out.
