>The cause of the fire remains unclear, though officials said that polystyrene and protective netting placed on the outside of the windows facilitated its spread.The buildings were covered in bamboohttps://youtu.be/jNWAufo1aqUhttps://edition.cnn.com/2025/11/27/world/bamboo-scaffolding-scrutiny-hong-kong-fire-intl-hnk
>>1461181Seems like a slow spreading fire.How were the neighboring buildings not vacated?
>>1461181You can literally see the plastic sheeting on one of the buildings in OPs pic. Hanging processed oil off your building is a bit more of a danger for spreading fire than bamboo.
>>1461181Bamboo isn't that flammable. Plastic, though? Once that shit hits ignition temperature, it's off like a rocket.
>>1461052>Wang FukLmao
>>1461181CCP bullcrap cope lol, protective netting was not flame retardant (made in china ofc and fake certificate), windows boarded up with styrofoam, fire alarms disabled, no firefighting equipment and mainland workers constantly smoking on site. Many people didn't even know the building was on fire and found out through social media for gods sake.100% on CCP incompetence and corruption.
