  • More than 740 firefighters and ambulance personnel were dispatched to put out the No. 4 fire at Tin Shui Wai site.

The Category 4 fire at Hung Nga Road in Tin Shui Wai, which burned for a day and a half, was extinguished at about 7 o’clock this morning. The Fire Services Department stated that all 152 construction workers evacuated themselves during the fire, and no casualties were reported.

The Fire Services Department stated that because the two scales in the fire scene may be at risk of collapse, water can only be sprayed on the outside to cool down at the initial stage, and the cause of the fire is being investigated. The Buildings Department stated that it has not yet entered the site to observe the condition of the scales. Based on current data assessment, it is believed that the two scales are not in immediate danger.

The fire scene was located in the basement of the construction site, covering an area of ​​70 meters by 80 meters. There were many difficulties when fighting the fire. The site was filled with thick smoke, the fire was very violent, and the temperature reached over 500 degrees. A large amount of building materials and “wind” were also stored at the site involved. Coal bottles”, more manpower needs to be deployed to fight the fire, and the large number of supports on the site is like a maze, making it very difficult for firefighters to enter the fire scene.

The police said that the temporary road closure measures implemented earlier on three streets at the scene, namely Hongyuan Road, Hongya Road and Hongping Road, are still in effect. Motorists are urged to pay attention to traffic conditions and follow the instructions of police officers at the scene.
