Two cats were killed and a domestic helper hospitalised after a fire broke out at a village home in Hong Kong's Tai Po district on Monday, with investigators suspecting a faulty pet water dispenser or its charger triggered the blaze.
The fire started at around 11.20am at a third-floor flat in Wong Yi Au Tsuen. A 47-year-old Indonesian helper, who had been hanging laundry on the rooftop when the fire broke out, was rescued by firefighters and taken to Alice Ho Miu Ling Nethersole Hospital after inhaling smoke.
