A fire broke out in a building under construction on Middle Road in Tsim Sha Tsui at about 11:00 p.m. on the 2nd. The fire alarm was raised to level four.
Due to the fierce fire, the fire debris drifted with the wind. Many nearby buildings, including H Zentre, Far East Building, International Telecom Building, Star Building, Sheraton Hotel and Chungking Mansion, etc., were affected and caught fire one after another. Some residents felt unwell and had to be sent to hospital for treatment .

Yu and his wife, who have lived in Chungking Mansions for decades, were notified by their son that a fire broke out in a building near their apartment. They immediately went to the window to check, and found that the fire debris had drifted to the courtyard of the building and fell on the air conditioner. Fortunately, the fire debris extinguished by itself.
Feeling in danger, the couple decided to evacuate to a safe place by themselves. Fortunately, both the couple were unharmed.
After finishing dinner nearby, Mr. Du and his girlfriend passed by the scene and watched the fire with their own eyes.

Mr. Du and his girlfriend, who had finished dinner nearby, learned that there was a fourth-degree fire, so they walked to the opposite side of the Kowloon Hotel to watch it with their own eyes.
Among them, the girlfriend bluntly said, "It's so shocking". It was the first time I witnessed the fire with my own eyes, and I was shocked. I hope that no one was injured by the fire.
