Seven major fires occurred, of which one at 78, Un Chau Street was the most serious, resulting in eleven deaths. This fire was caused by the igniting of a can of petrol on the third floor and although the building was of reinforced concrete with easy means of egress, the eleven occupants were trapped in the corner of a room.
