Firefighting in Hong Kong
An interesting video illustrating a fire response in the Mong Kok district on Kowloon Peninsula, Hong Kong.
Tragically, four people - including two firefighters - were killed when a fire swept through a building in Mong Kok.
A total of 55 people including three firemen were taken to hospitals for treatment. The two firefighters, age 46 and 25, were certified dead at Queen Elizabeth Hospital and the woman, 77, at Princess Margaret Hospital. A charred body was later found on the mezzanine floor of the building.
A 26-year-old man is in critical condition, while three others are in serious condition. Another 36 people are in a stable or satisfactory condition. The remainder were treated and discharged.
The fire broke out at a night club in Cornwall Court, 687-689 Nathan Road, Mong Kok August 10th at 9:20. It was put out at 3:13pm.
