At about 11.36 pm on Friday (28th), a unit on the 13th floor of the Golden Oriole Building in Shajiao Village, Shatian, suddenly caught fire. The smoke rolled straight into the air. A large number of residents called the police for help, and at least 100 residents fled to a safe place. The fire rushed to use a hose and a team of smoke caps to fight the fire. The fire was extinguished after about 21 minutes.

It is reported that a pair of adult men and women and an 8-year-old boy were trapped in the fire unit and needed to be rescued by firefighters. When the two men were rescued, they fell into a coma and were rushed to the Prince of Wales Hospital in Shatin. After the rescue, the boy died, and the woman's face was blackened and put on an oxygen mask to be sent to hospital.

The chief inspector Wen Tianfa, Assistant Commander (Operation) of Tianxin District, said that the male head of the household was with the 8-year-old son and a female neighbor at the time of the incident. The neighbor assisted in caring for the 8-year-old boy. When the rescuers arrived, the female neighbor had fled outside the house, but the head of the family was trapped and had to be rescued by fire. The two were unconscious when they were sent to the hospital. The boy was certified dead after being sent to the hospital and the male head was in the rescue. After the fire investigation, it was believed that an electric scooter short-circuited and caught fire near the door of the unit. It was initially believed to be suspicious.
