SATURDAY, JUNE 1ST, 2013

Got my day off work today, and was in Mong Kok doing some shopping before deciding to go to the King Hing building about 7:30pm.
As I was about to walk into the building, I saw a shit load of fire fighters behind me running into the building and police outside the entrance..
didn't think much about it at first, as I didn't see any smoke.

The fire fighters then took out a huge hose really fast and ran into the building.. not sure which floor the fire was on, but it didn't seem to be that serious at first..
fast forward 5 mins later.. the entrance to King Hing was completely engulfed in smoke!!

There was a large crowd standing outside, and the media eventually showed up.. the police and fire fighters also had cameramen and photographers on hand to witness the crazy
shit that was going on..
I saw about 4-6 WG's that I recognized before running out of the building one by one, 1 of them ran out with clothing covering her face...
all the people that ran out of the building were gathered by police for questioning..
if you check some of the photos I took, you can see fire fighters carrying children out of the complex aswel.. there were a few customers inside the rooms
running out the entrance covered in water from the fireman's hose.. they were also attained for questioning.
As I was standing just outside the entrance taking photos, all the water from the top floors started pouring out of the windows ..
so the rooms of the WG's also caught fire.

Not sure what started the fire, but it could have been accident from a lit ciggarette, or maybe started on purpose..
from what I saw tonight, the fire was on the 3rd floor.. not sure if the whole 3rd floor was taken out by the fire.. but I only saw a few WG's running out of the building..
I have no idea about the rest..
On weekends, most of the rooms at King Hing are empty, but I'm sure there were more than 10 working in there at the time of the fire..
if anyone has the number of any of the WG's they go to in that building, now would be a good time to check up on them if they were working tonight..

the smoke was pretty serious.. after 20 mins or so, the smoke was still fuming out the windows.. not sure if people on the 4th floor and up (4th to 15th) got out..
here's some photos I took..

You didn't take any pics of the WGs or their johns running out ?

as this is not a report on doing WGs I have to move this to talk is cheap section, not going to remove the Ks you gained for posting here as I would have given you 5Ks for this almost live feed anyway.

You would have given him 5k 'anyway'? How would that be possible if this were posted in the right section since acceptance can only be awarded?

That said, I am glad there were no fatalities.

you're right of course, but i didn't think of that at the time

spoke to Gigi on Sat  night, she wassapped me and told me about the fire...she was all ok so thats a good thing...anyone head from any of the other King Hing girls?

I'm in King Hing right now looking for Gi Gi. Seems her whole 10th floor is vacant though I see no damage.

i know the lift/elevator was out of action for a few days following the fire..so that could be why some of the girls have gone for a bit

fire was on a lower level from what i was told....
