WUHAN -- A 35-year-old man was killed in a fire at a mixed commercial-residential building in downtown Wuhan City, central China's Hubei Province.

Fan Junhui, a worker hired by a shop in the building, was found dead by firefighters at 7 a.m. Friday in a warehouse on the third floor of the nine-story Yuanxiang Building, said Tan Renjie, spokesman of the Wuhan municipal government at a press conference.

Fifteen people, including 11 civilians and four firefighters and police officers, were hospitalized for smoke inhalation or sprains. Eight will be discharged from the hospital Friday.

One 88-year-old woman, who suffers from anemia and lung inflammation, was in life-threatening condition.

The fire broke out in a plastic products warehouse on the second floor of Yuanxiang Building in the Hanzhengjie Wholesale Market at about 9:50 a.m. Thursday.

It was extinguished around 11 p.m. on same day after more than 800 firefighters along with 79 fire engines were dispatched to the scene.
