At least four people have died and eight were injured in a large fire in a residential complex in Tai Po district, northern Hong Kong, where the flames spread through the bamboo scaffolding installed on one of the skyscrapers.
In addition to the victims there are people trapped inside the three buildings affected by the fire, while the authorities raised the level of the fire to 4 on a scale of 1 to 5 due to its rapid evolution.
A dense column of smoke and collapse of parts of the scaffolding can be seen in images spread on social networks and local media, while several nearby roads were closed to traffic.

The fire took place in Wang Fuk Court, an eight-block housing complex offering nearly 2,000 residential units.
Several of the skyscrapers near the tower where the fire started have bamboo scaffolding on the outside, so the fire spreads easily.
