A fire at the Yoho Town apartment complex in Hong Kong left one person dead and another in critical condition. According to South China Morning Post, the fire occurred at night in the northwest of the capital.
According to preliminary versions, the cause may have been a short circuit in the electrical wiring. Firefighters localized and extinguished the fire in the morning. When checking the apartment where the outbreak occurred, two people were found unconscious: a 56-year-old man died on the way to the hospital, and a 54-year-old woman was put in a coma.
During the operation, more than 300 residents—320 people—were evacuated. This incident is the second fatality in a high-rise building fire in Hong Kong in a short period of time: on January 4, a fire in another residential building left one person dead, eight injured and about 270 residents evacuated from the building.
Previously there was information that in a European country the bus caught fire with 47 passengers.
