'No fire alarm' in hotel blaze

Ladislav Adamek, a guest at the Harbour View Hotel in Hong Kong where a fire broke out, gave ITV News this account:

We were awaken by loud noise probably coming from the exploding glass or things hitting the area on the floor...There was also no fire alarm [so] I pressed it on our floor...I guess we were one of the first to leave. It seemed like 10 floors were on fire...They are bringing a few people out on stretchers.

The fire is now under control and initial reports suggest that only one person has been taken to hospital.
