At around 3 a.m. today (8th), a fire broke out in an apartment on Zhongshan Road, Tamsui District, New Taipei City. The scene was a 5-story building, with fire smoke coming out from the third floor. When nearby people found it, they hurriedly called 119. After the police arrived at the scene, the third floor of the apartment was burned in full swing. The fire was extinguished within 40 minutes. The police found his grandfather, father and 7-year-old grandson in the bedroom and balcony, all burned to charred bodies, while his grandmother suffered 90% second-degree burns and was rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment.

According to media reports, a 5-story apartment located in Lane 2, Lane 72, Zhongshan Road, Tamsui District was shocked at around 3 a.m. Nearby people said that at first, fire smoke emerged from the third floor and someone suspected to be calling for help. After the police were arrested and arrived at the scene, the third floor had been burning in full swing, and the fire even began to spread to the fourth floor. After being rescued, the fire was extinguished at around 4 o'clock.

Police Victim pointed out that after entering the room, the 40-year-old father surnamed Gu and his 7-year-old son who were lying in the bedroom had been burned to charred bodies and were obviously dead. On the balcony, the 76-year-old grandfather was also found dead, and the 68-year-old grandmother was burned 90% of her body. Police Victim quickly sent her to Tamsui Makai Hospital for emergency treatment.

According to the preliminary investigation of the police and medical insurance, the fire point is suspected to be in the living room on the third floor. Since the house is made of wooden compartments, the fire spreads quite quickly. In addition, it was late at night, and the family of four was already asleep. It was too late to find that the fire was caught. As for the detailed cause of the fire alarm, the fire dispatchers still need to be further investigated and clarified.
