Fast facts about yesterday's fire on the Bund

As an update to yesterday's Bund fire, we present Xinmin's news report: The fire began at 4pm, across the street from the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China's Shanghai Bund branch. The flames sprung from the Bund renovation platform, starting after errant welding caused something to go ablaze. But firefighters managed to wrestle it under control without causing any casualties. Interestingly enough, the Bund wasn't the only thing to catch fire yesterday. In the same morning, six floors of Ocean Hotel in Hongkou began billowing smoke. The cause was also "welding."
