AT least 16 people died and five were injured after a fire broke out at a wholesale fruit market in the southern Chinese city of Shenzhen, reports said.
The fire started early on Wednesday and spread over about 1,000 square metres of the Rongjian market in Shenzhen's Guangming district, before firefighters extinguished it 90 minutes later, local officials said.
Police were still investigating the cause of the fire and detained the manager of the market, identified only by the surname Xu, for questioning.
Many tenants of the market lived above their stalls, state media reported.
The 16 dead were from four stalls, and the youngest victim was two years old, the official Xinhua news agency quoted Zhang Xiaowei, a spokesman for the Shenzhen fire department, as saying.
The 145 firefighters initially struggled to stop the fire spreading because of low water pressure at the market, other reports said.
The area where the fire broke out opened in 2008 in buildings converted from disused factories.
