Firefighters are investigating the cause of a garage fire in San Po Kong on Tuesday night during which several explosions were heard.

The blaze broke out at around 8pm. It was raised to a No 3 alarm after midnight and was largely put out before 4am on Wednesday.

Almost 200 firefighters and ambulance personnel were mobilised.
