A 15-year-old boy and his 80-year-old grandfather were sent to hospital after a blaze broke out from a tin sheet house in Wang Lung Tsuen, Tsuen Wan in the early hours on Friday. About 150 firefighters from six breathing apparatus teams were deployed and used six jets to fight the blaze. About 80 residents there were evacuated and photos showed that the blaze burned down three tin sheet houses located next to each other, as well as two private cars and a light goods van nearby. The boy and his grandpa surnamed Law were sent to Yan Chai Hospital after they both inhaled smoke billowed from the fire. It was understood that the tin sheet house where the fire first started was used for storage while the other two housed about 16 people.
