FOUR people were killed in a building fire in Changsha, capital of central China's Hunan Province last night, local authorities said today.
No one was injured in the accident which occurred at about 10:00 pm in an old five-story building in Kaifu District, said a spokesman with the district government.
Police were questioning the landlord and four other people who managed the building, he said. They were in police custody.
The landlord allegedly had illegally separated the rooms into smaller compartments using flammable building materials. Liquid gas had accelerated the fire spreading, the spokesman added.
The victims were two couples originally from Hunan's Ningxiang County and Yiyang City.
Police were further investigating the cause of the fire, he said.
