Around one hundred homes were destroyed, as the flames sped through a shanty town.
Residents joined firefighters in putting out the blaze.
Some went ahead of the fire and tore down houses, moving the pieces out of range of the flames.
It is unclear what sparked the fire.
There were no reports of death or injuries.
Armed police quickly surrounded the area, to keep looters out, and ensure no protests could occur.
