Fire engulfs residential complex in Huangpu District

A fire broke out at about 4:50pm today at an old residential complex at Lane 91 on Wutong Road in Huangpu District.

No casualties were reported.

Neighbors said an elderly couple and their son jumped out from the window when the fire broke out.

"It was lucky that there was a sunshade underneath which cushioned a lot of impact," a neighbor surnamed Wang said. "And other neighbors were helping to pick them under the sunshade. They seemed to be frightened, but not much injured then."

Other neighbors said the fire was probably caused when the wife was stewing a soup, which soon spread to the staircase.

The cause of the fire is under investigation.
