Fire attack on squatter houses
1960s
Squatter fires and firemen putting out the fire. In the past Hong Kong had numerous squatter house areas and each fire burnt down many houses. To avoid hindering the work of the firemen, the picture was taken outside the cordons. The fires accentuated the silhouette of objects but all other things lack gradation. In the picture the fireman poured water over the fire and the line of water accentuated the ferocity of the fire.

救援號角夜悲鳴　車隊疾馳心悖驚
未悉誰家逢不幸　寒風唬唬動哀聲
