Mongkok Blaze

HK mourned the death of two firemen who died in last week blaze at Mongkok at Kowloon. It was a huge blaze at Kowloon area on Sunday morning 9am-ish. 200 people were evacuated. The fire apparently started from an old night club and spread like wild fire. I wonder if it was the work of arsonist. The fire was put out only at around 2pm. The firemen who died apparently gave their oxygen tanks to two victims before soldiering on into the deeper part of the buildings to rescue more people. The two victims who survived on the oxygen tank were subsequently rescued and now recovering. Quite sad actually....

I noticed one thing about HK ...every thing has got grading and levels. There are grading scale for storm (amber, red and black), levels for wind strength (level 3, 5.....8) and even fire (level 1, 3....5) The blaze on Sunday was level 5.
