Cisco assesses fire damage

Johannesburg, 06 Mar 2007

Cisco SA is evaluating the damage caused by a fire at its Bryanston offices in the early hours of Monday morning.

According to Cisco's communications agency, a fire broke out on the first floor of the giant's offices, but was contained to the reception area. No one was harmed in the fire, it says.

The company's media relations officer, Zweli Mnisi, said Cisco's senior executives were unavailable to comment this morning as they were onsite assessing the damage to the premises.

Nevertheless, its communications agency - which operates from the same building - says it believes it is "business as usual" for Cisco as the floors which house the company's operational resources were unaffected by the fire. Those employees that were affected are working remotely.

At this stage, the cause of the fire is unknown.
