SIX people died and another two were injured in an apartment fire in east China's Zhejiang Province, police said yesterday.

The fire broke out on the building's first floor at 9:40pm on Friday and spread quickly to the top of the five-story building in Taiping township, Wenling City. It was brought under control by 11:40pm.

The victims included four women and two men. The two injured were being treated in hospital, local officials said yesterday.

Police evacuated more than 10 residents to a local hotel because their homes were gutted. Officials were yesterday investigating the cause.
