xiāng gǎng香港dà huǒ大火zào chéng造成duō多rén人sǐ wáng死亡,měi guó美国biǎo shì表示guān xīn关心
A severe fire broke out in a large residential area in Tai Po, Hong Kong, resulting in 128 deaths and over 200 people missing.
The United States expressed concern and condolences to the people of Hong Kong.
The fire occurred in a place with more than 4,600 residents. Rescue teams have completed their operations, but the death toll may still rise.
When the fire happened, the building's fire alarm did not sound. Outside the building, there were bamboo and green protective nets because it was under maintenance.
The police have arrested several people related to the maintenance. They may have used unsafe materials, such as flammable foam boards, which made the fire worse.
Some residents' windows were sealed with foam materials, making escape very difficult.
The government is investigating the cause of the fire.
This is the most serious fire in Hong Kong in decades, and many people are very saddened.
