The fire broke out in a residential building in the South of the Chinese capital of Beijing, 19 people died and another eight were injured.
Reported that firefighters have been unable to overcome the flames. The cause of the fire is still unknown.
However, the Beijing police announced that several suspects were detained.
A fire broke out in the southern Daxing district, where settlements are mainly migrant workers seeking to save on housing.
In the area there are several small garment factories.
More than 30 fire trucks from 14 different teams of firefighters to more than 3:00 extinguished the fire that broke out in the night.
This fire came at a time of rising tensions in Beijing caused by the decision of the city authorities to improve the look of the town centre and close unsightly market stalls.
