Hong Kong firefighters will investigate the cause of a blaze that broke out Friday at a warehouse and forced 3,600 people, including students, to evacuate, authorities said.
Thick smoke was seen pouring out from the eight-storey factory building where the fire broke out around 2 p.m. at a warehouse on Fat Tseung Street in Cheung Sha Wan, a residential and industrial area in Kowloon, the government said. The fire was largely extinguished at 8:40 p.m.
There were inflammable substances at the warehouse and the fire equipment, including the sprinkler system, could not work properly there, he said.
