Firemen brought the fire under control half an hour after it broke out at 10:30 p.m. Monday. Fourteen other workers in the dormitory have been sent to hospital for burnt injuries, including six severely injured, said rescuers.
The workers' dormitory is a rural house rented by the No. 19 subsidiary of the China Railway Group Limited in Saihan District, Hohhot, where the company workers are building a railway tunnel.
