HOTEL ON FIRE
- More than 300 people have been evacuated after a fire that broke out at the 5-star Harbor Grand Hotel in Hong Kong on April 21, reports RIA Novosti.
Firefighters say the fire broke out this morning when a TV set stopped functioning on the 38th floor of the hotel building. The fire quickly spread to the top and bottom floors.
It took firefighters four hours to put the fire out. There are no victims. The news agency reports that only one woman was transferred to the hospital due to lack of conscience. Doctors say the woman's life isn't at risk.
