+1

A fire alarm at Hiu Fung House in Chai Wan's Fung Wah Estate, which is currently covered in scaffolding and netting for renovation, prompted a large-scale evacuation on Tuesday night, but no fire was found and no injuries were reported.

Firefighters received the report around 9pm and rushed to the scene. Residents were evacuated to the ground as a precaution. No flames or smoke were visible from outside the building. After an initial search, authorities suspect the alarm was triggered by burnt food in a unit.
