Firemen from the Ichang Road fire station worked for an hour last night before they succeeded in bringing under control a big blaze which broke out in the new Wong Foh nail factory, 297 Ichang Road. The factory, which is just across the road from the fire station, had been built only recently and suffered considerable damage. The blaze, which started about 9.30 p.m., caused considerable damage to the factory godown, and the wire cleaning room and nail room were also badly damaged.
