SEALED OFF

Police And Fire Brigade Are Investigating Cause Of Blast

A spokesman for the Fire Brigade said this morning that investigations were still proceeding into the cause of the explosion of 60 pounds of dynamite at a quarry in Kowloon City last night.

He said there was no further danger, but the area had been scaled off and would remain sealed until released by a Magistrate or the Police.

Police are still questioning witnesses of the explosion. The three people who were injured in the explosion are still in hospital and may be able to give the Police more help when they recover.

What still has to be ascertained, the spokesman said, was

exactly how the dynamite went up and whether there was any negligence on the part of the people concerned in the storage of the explosives.
