YouTube Description
as posted by the channelFire swept through a Hong Kong apartment complex today in one of the deadliest fires in the city in the last 30 years.
The fire spread from one high rise building to at least four others. The cluster of buildings is part of a public housing complex with eight buildings, housing about 4,600 people in total, and firefighters were working to stop the flames from engulfing the entire complex. A firefighter battling the blaze is among the dead.
There's suspicion that bamboo scaffolding encasing the buildings played a part in the blaze. Last year, Hong Kong’s government began planning to replace all bamboo scaffolding with steel, arguing metal posed less of a fire hazard.
