A 61-year-old worker sustained burns to more than 50 per cent of his body in a factory fire in northwestern Hong Kong that took about 140 firefighters three hours to extinguish on Friday.

The blaze ignited a two-storey plastics factory in the rural village of Wing Ning Tsuen on Yung Yuen Road in Yuen Long at around 12.39am.
