HONG KONG - At least 13 people have been killed in a major fire engulfing apartment blocks in Hong Kong - here's what we know so far.

The fire service says a further 15 people have been injured as a result of the Wang Fuk Court fire in the Tai Po district. The government has paid tribute to a 37-year-old firefighter who died fighting the blaze, describing him as "dedicated and gallant". Some people are reportedly still trapped in the buildings, though that hasn't been confirmed. Picture show the flames spreading on bamboo scaffolding outside the blocks. The fire has been classed as a level five - the most serious level in Hong Kong. (BBC)
