Fire at Shanghai Center's Portman Ritz-Carlton?

Photo from erussel1984

I just wanted to let you know there was a fire at approximately 3.45pm in the Shanghai Centre. I am not sure what floor it started on but was in the Portman Hotel. I work in the office tower and we had no warning until we saw smoke outside the windows.

I got to the lobby with my camera but the staff made me delete the photos I got. I have some from the outside on my Flickr page tagged with Shanghaiist.

It's difficult to tell the severity of the fire from Ned's three photos that escaped deletion. Any Shanghaiist readers have more information?
