The death toll in Hong Kong has surpassed over 100 since a Wednesday fire that devastated several buildings in a high-rise complex. Many people remain unaccounted for.

As the investigation continues, eight additional people involved in renovations on one of the buildings have been arrested.

Emergency officials say the fire spread rapidly due to bamboo scaffolding and highly flammable foam panels, adding that fire alarms in the building did not sound as the fires grew.

Here, one survivor recalls the moment she found out about the fire, and her subsequent escape.

Firefighters were able to fully extinguish the fires on Friday morning.
