More than 300 people were trapped in a major fire in Hong Kong’s World Trade Centre in Causeway Bay on December 15, 2021. The building, which serves as both a mall and office complex, had been undergoing partial renovation. Police say the fire was likely to have broken out in an electrical switch room in the lower floor of the shopping centre. The blaze is believed to have then spread to scaffolding covering part of the building. At least 13 people were injured in the fire, including one listed in critical condition.
