Hundred Squatters Lose Homes in Fire

A fire which swept through about 30 squatters' matsheds at To Kok Teul

yesterday afternoon, em- phasised ùnew the danger whch these crowded, flimsy erections constitute to the thickly-populated communities of which they are a

Pitrs.

The alarm was raised about 1.30

p.m

but in half an hour, despite the combined work of the Shumshuipo Brigade and an engine crew from the Kowloon Fire Station, the binze had wiped out an ares appoximately 100 feet by 30 feet. A few charred up- rights and a jumble of blackened lins were all that remained of the humble habitations of about 100 prople.

So far as the police could ascertain, no-one was injured in the fire, but as the Bremen poured water on the ruins a number of women stood about bo- walling a loss which could be covered by about $100, but which involved their entire possessions. simre are between 2,000 and 3,000 matsheds in the Tai Kok Tsul area, and in the same section several timber yards, a coal yard, und the A.P.C, petrol depot. Yesterday's fire is believed to have started during coolding operations in one of the huis, and these tinder-like structures are ever subject to the same danger,

Bre

The risk to other premises iles in the fact that a light slab of burning roof matting may be lifted by only a moderate wind and carried to near- by properties. The spreading of such a fire would be beyond the control of an army of fire-fighters, it is declared, One solution suggested is the allot- ment of certain areas to aquatters very much in the manner of refugee camps, so that they could not erect their sheds in built-up brcos.

This would allow of better aurveli- Iance of the squatters themselves, and give the police power to prevent the throwing up of their matchwood clusters in undesirable posltons, It ⠀ pointed out.
