QUOTE(ozak @ Nov 27 2025, 11:21 AM) Scaf folding using Bamboo is unique construction to HK and history. They are proud of it. Don't think it will ban. The irony is there was a tower on 3rd category fire just a month ago in HK, also severe fire due to bamboos and netting. But that one was legal because the building was not habited so different rules on material standards. The HK authority issued memo to every contractors after that incident to inspect their compliance to safety rules and then this historic blaze happened 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. Also in the video got reported got ppl warned the authorities of fire hazards with this renovation, but authority dismissed the concern….heads will roll after this. |

Bamboo is good and nothing wrong with it. It's light, corrosion proof and cheap. When you see how people cook bamboo rice, we know thaat it's not easy to burn. The problem that cause the fire is the netting (not self extinguish material) and polystyrene (easily catch fire).

When you see how people cook bamboo rice, we know thaat it's not easy to burn. The problem that cause the fire is the netting (not self extinguish material) and polystyrene (easily catch fire). Yes, dried bamboo is combustible, much like other types of wood, and is easily ignited. Its high sugar content contributes to its flammability, and the shed leaf sheaths around the base of bamboo clumps are particularly prone to catching fire. While untreated dried bamboo burns easily, treatment with chemicals can reduce its flammability and slow the rate of combustion |

Now the reports mostly alleged ablaze bamboo debris were blamed for the fast spread of fire to other towers.If u watch again most of the fire footages, the main structure ablaze are the bamboos scaffolding. Those netting if flammable probably burnt away already, it was the bamboos that keep the fire ablaze. |

AI OverviewYes, bamboo can burn, and it is flammable, especially when dry. Dry bamboo burns quickly and can be used as kindling, though it can also pop and crack loudly as it burns due to pressure buildup. When burned, it produces irritating fumes and can spread fires rapidly, so it should be burned with caution. This post has been edited by Adrian909: Nov 27 2025, 11:51 AM |
