people.
The fire, which spread gradually, eventually engulfed nearly 150 square metres inside the building. Firefighters rushed to the spot after receiving an alert and fought the flames for about 40 minutes before bringing the situation under control.

This incident comes just a week after a devastating fire in Hong Kong, where more than 140 people died, raising fresh concerns over fire safety in high-density urban areas.
