Woman hurt in flat fire suspected to have been caused by aromatherapy items

Hong Kong firefighters have rescued a 67-year-old woman from a flat in Tin Shui Wai after a blaze broke out, prompting about 100 people to flee.

A preliminary investigation suggested aromatherapy items ignited objects in the flat.

Police said officers were alerted at 5.39pm on Saturday after smoke was seen billowing from a flat at Locwood Court in the Kingswood Villas private estate.
