Eleven people died when a blaze engulfed two houses early yesterday in an eastern China city prone to fatal fire disasters, the government said.
The fire, which broke out shortly after midnight in Taizhou in Zhejiang Province, left two other people in hospital in a serious condition, a local government statement said.
Ten more people sustained minor injuries.
The fire was soon brought under control and its cause is being investigated.
Taizhou has seen a number of deadly fires in recent years.
In 2007, at least 17 people were killed and several others injured when fire engulfed a building of shops and apartments.
Sixteen people perished in 2014 when fire tore through a shoe factory in the city, and another 18 died in February this year in a blaze at a foot massage parlour on the outskirts of the city.
Four people in charge of the massage establishment were detained following that incident.
