A deadly fire broke out in Hemantian Village.
At nearly half past midnight on Saturday (12th), one of the units in Yiwen Building suddenly caught fire, and heavy smoke spread out. More than 100 residents were evacuated to the ground for temporary shelter.
The firemen arrived at the report and used a breathing apparatus team and a throat to fight the blaze. The fire was put out nearly half an hour later.
It is understood that after rescuers broke into the fired unit and found a male resident surnamed Ruan (57 years old) inside the house, he was suspected of inhaling excessive smoke and fell into a coma. He was rushed to Queen Elizabeth Hospital by ambulance and was certified dead.
According to sources, the burning unit was full of debris and a fire broke out near the door when the incident occurred.
The police stated that they suspect that a charging electric wheelchair caught fire at the site, which is believed to be unsuspicious.
