A Yuen Long warehouse storing paper funeral offerings caught fire on Friday night.

The blaze in Pak Sha Tsuen began just before 11 pm.

About half an hour later, the Fire Services Department upgraded it to a No. 3 Alarm, the third highest on a scale of five.

Firefighters deployed three jets and three breathing apparatus teams.

They managed to put out the blaze before 3 am.

Police say 12 people were evacuated. No one was hurt.
