A residential fire broke out in Tseung Kwan O.
At about 1:00 a.m. on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year (February 5th), a high-rise unit in Guangming Court's Guangxin Building suddenly caught fire. The fire was violent and a large amount of smoke was emitted. A large number of residents called the police for help. Residents must take shelter on the rooftop.
Firefighters arrived after receiving the report, and used a hose and a team of smoke caps to put out the fire. After more than half an hour, the fire was put out. After investigation, it is believed that a short circuit of an electric comb in the unit caused the fire, and there is nothing suspicious.
It is understood that firefighters rescued a father and daughter surnamed Fang (74 years old and 48 years old) in the fire unit. They inhaled thick smoke and felt uncomfortable. The father also injured his hands and feet. Another couple, surnamed Mao (56) and Qian (52), suffered from smoke inhalation and were taken to United Hospital.
