More in depth coverage by Hongkies in Cantonese.
Each unit had to contribute HKD160k-180k for the major renovation. Paid huge money to have their home burnt down and lost of family members in the blaze |

Scaf folding using Bamboo is unique construction to HK and history. They are proud of it. Don't think it will ban.The fire rapidly escalated due to the presence of bamboo scaffolding and construction mesh covering the exterior of the high-rise towers, which were undergoing major renovation. Officials also reported finding Styrofoam inside the buildings, which they believe accelerated the flames through the corridors. Others then bamboo material, they find out many polystyrene boards lying around blocking the entrance and the window. This are highly flammable material. The boss and some worker already been arrested. The main problem for this fire spread so fast is because they scaffolding all the block. With each block is so near, fire easily wind blow to another block. They should complete 1 block at a time. Take down the scaffolding from the completed block before do another block. |
