https://apnews.com/article/hong-kong-tai-po-wang-fuk-court-fire-d3da6740dd2c90f08d28dcd889db0c30

Some 2,311 firefighters worked to bring the fire under control after it spread across seven of Wang Fuk Court's eight apartment blocks.

At least 128 people are now known to have died.

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.

Seems like a slow spreading fire.
How were the neighboring buildings not vacated?

You 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.
