Running outside to check, he discovered that the porous corrugated iron roof area was on fire, suspected to be due to a power line short circuit. Strong winds quickly spread the fire to two adjacent houses.
My family shouted for help, called firefighters and used fire extinguishers on the spot, but the fire broke out too quickly and could not be controlled," Mr. Tu recounted.
