About 600 guests have been evacuated from the Harbour View Hotel in Hong Kong after a fire broke out on the 43rd floor
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.
