Overturned Lamp Was Cause Of Last Night's Fire

3,076 PEOPLE REGISTERED

AS HOMELESS

Last night's disastrous fire in Kowloon City was apparently caused by a kerosene lamp being overturned, the flames igniting a flimsy bamboo and paper mache partition on the first floor of 88, Lung Chua Road, according to an official state- ment released this morning.

The flames spread to the next hut, occupied by a flower seller and his wife; they jumped through the win- dow to the ground and raised the alarm.

The fire involved approximately 400 buildings and 3,076 persons have been registered as homeless. Fortunately no casualties have been reported.

The Kowloon Fire Station received the call at 10.30 p.m. through the Police radio con- trol and immediately despatch- cd six engines, two ambulances and a radio car. These were later reinforced by an addition- al engine and 1 car from Hongkong.

The fire nighting was under the direction of Mr W. J. Gor- man, Chief Officer who stated this morning that when the fire Was at its height a number of small explosions occurred-ap- parently caused by stored fire crackers as well as drums of oli becoming alight.

He said the fire was brought under control by 12.05 a.m. and finally extinguished at 12.45 am,
