Video obtained by the Post shows the aftermath of a deadly fire in a commercial and residential site in Hong Kong’s Kowloon district on April 10, 2024. Five people were killed in the blaze believed to have started inside a gym on the first floor before it spread to other parts of the building. Dozens more people were injured, six of them critically. A source familiar with the case said on April 11 that a preliminary investigation suggested the blaze in piles of plastic rubbish bags left at the bottom of a lightwell on the first floor of the 16-storey New Lucky House in Yau Ma Tei. The source said a cigarette butt discarded from an upper floor has been listed as a possible cause of the fire in the 60-year-old building.
