Bug bomb sparks false alarm at Allway Gardens, residents evacuated

Smoke from a pest-control fogger prompted a full building evacuation at Allway Gardens in Tsuen Wan on Monday evening, with firefighters responding to reports of a potential fire.

Residents of a mid-floor unit at Block P called police around 8pm after noticing smoke. Building security assisted in evacuating residents. A large contingent of firefighters arrived and sent a breathing apparatus team upstairs, only to discover the smoke was from a pest control fumigation device. No fire was found.
