Two fires which broke out early yesterday morning kept the Kow- loon Fire Brigade busy and did considerable damage to property.

The second fire began "shortly after 4 a.m. in a four story build- ing at 152 Temple Road, in Yau- mati district. It is believed that the blaze started when an oil lamp was knocked over in what was suppedly, an opium divan situated on the first floor of the building.
