A fire engulfed several high-rise residential towers in Hong Kong\u2019s Tai Po district Wednesday, killing at least 13 people and reportedly trapping others inside.<\/p>\n

Hong Kong\u2019s Fire Services Department said it received<\/u><\/a> reports of a blaze breaking out at the Wang Fuk Court in Tai Po, a district in the northern New Territories, around 2:50 p.m.<\/p>\n

The fire was upgraded to a No. 5 alarm by 6:22 p.m., the most severe fire alarm rating in Hong Kong.<\/p>\n

In a government statement, the department said<\/u><\/a> nine people were taken to the Alice Ho Miu Ling Nethersole Hospital and the Prince of Wales Hospital.<\/p>\n

Four people were pronounced dead and three were in critical condition. Another was listed as serious, and one was stable.<\/p>\n

Tang Ping-keung, the secretary for security of Hong Kong, said one fireman<\/u><\/a> died after sustaining injuries while battling the blaze.<\/p>\n

“I am profoundly grieved at the passing of Mr Ho, who lost his life in the course of an operation. I offer my deepest condolences to his family members,” Tang said.<\/p>\n

Photos from the scene showed the bamboo scaffolding<\/a> of the towers engulfed in flames and thick, dark smoke pouring out of multiple floors.<\/p>\n

Firefighters<\/a> were working to extinguish the blaze, and one man was photographed in visible distress, saying his wife was trapped inside.<\/p>\n

Chan Kwong-tak, an 83-year-old retiree living in the community, told The South China Morning Post<\/u><\/a> that the fire alarms failed to go off when the blaze broke out, even though the buildings were equipped with them.<\/p>\n

“If someone was sleeping then, they were done,” he said.<\/p>\n

Tai Po\u2019s former district councillor Herman Yiu Kwan-ho also told the outlet that residents reported not hearing the fire alarms go off even after they detected the smell of smoke<\/a>. He said they were only warned when a security guard knocked on their doors, giving them little time to get out.<\/p>\n

The Tai Po District Office opened temporary shelters for people in need at the Kwong Fuk Community Hall and the Tung Cheong Street Community Hall.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
