Gutter shoots out flames outside Circle K

An underground electrical cable was suspected to have caused a fire that surged out of the gutter outside a Circle K shop on 80 Caine Road in the Mid-Levels around 2pm yesterday.

The cable allegedly short circuited and exploded, causing flames a foot high to come shooting out of the gutter.

By the time firemen arrived on the scene, the fire had died out. Nobody was injured, according to Apple Daily.
