One person, one cat and one dog died in a fire in a unit in Kwai Fong Village, and more than 100 residents escaped in the middle of the night

A fire broke out in Kwai Chung.

At about 4 in the morning, a unit on the 20th floor of Kwai Chung Building, Kwai Fong Village, reportedly burst into flames. A large amount of smoke poured out of the street, and many residents reported the case.

Sources at the scene stated that it was suspected that someone was trapped in the unit and their lives were in danger.

Firefighters arrived at the scene and opened their throats to fight the blaze and assisted the evacuation of more than 100 residents to a safe location on the ground.

The firefighter also managed to rescue the trapped people.

However, the firefighter found a woman in a coma in the unit and was subsequently certified dead by an ambulanceman.

According to sources, the surname of the deceased woman was 62 years old, and there was a lot of debris in the unit involved.

In addition, it is known that there was a cat and a dog in the unit, but they were certified dead at the same time.

In addition, due to the eagerness to escape, some children did not have time to put on enough clothes and felt cold in the cold night. When the rescuers saw this, they put on reflective insulation blankets for the children.

The ambulanceman covered the child with reflective warmth.
