Where did the fire start? 

The fire is assumed to have originated on the lower floors of Block 6 (Wang Cheong House).

The estate was:

  • Built in 1983 
  • Home to 4,600+ residents 
  • Undergoing major renovation work 
  • Entirely wrapped in bamboo scaffolding and green mesh

What caused the rapid spread of the fire? 

Officials assume that there are several accelerants that triggered the fire, including 

  • Flammable polystyrene boards found around the window
  • Protective mesh netting that ignited quickly 
  • Bamboo scaffolding acting as a vertical ladder for flames 
  • Shattering windows allowing fire to enter units 

Once the netting and polystyrene caught fire, flames jumped floor to floor and even building to building, reaching temperatures above 500ยฐC (932ยฐF). Fire crews say some units reignited even after initial extinguishing attempts.

Were fire safety systems working? 

No. Fire alarms in all 8 towers were NOT FUNCTIONAL. 

Moreover, several residents say the alarms never rang. One resident reported that workers had turned off alarms during construction.

Wrap up

I personally feel really sorry for the residents who suffered due to this fire. While conducting a research for this incident, the thing that I barely understand was why the fire alarms had been turned off in the first place. With renovation work underway, a situation where construction materials can easily become fire hazards, how could they overlook that risk? The failure to account for many potential dangers that can arise during the construction seems that the contractors deserve criticism.
