Residents near a warehouse fire in Fanling reported a strong burning-plastic smell on the evening of 13 November. The fire broke out at a warehouse on Ping Che Road.
Firefighters rescued at least two people, and no injuries were reported. The fire was largely extinguished at about 10pm, with crews continuing to cool the site and clear smoke.
Some residents also reported that nearby villages temporarily lost power. The Hong Kong Fire Services Department advised people affected by drifting smoke or odours to close windows and doors and remain calm.
