The death toll from a fire at a Beijing hospital rose to 29 on Wednesday according to local authorities, in what has been described as one of the city's deadliest fires in at least two decades.

Social media showed dramatic videos of people using tied bed sheets to climb down the walls, attempting to escape smoke and flames after the fire broke out at Changfeng Hospital on Tuesday, while broken and burned out windows could be seen at the site afterwards.

All but three of the 29 dead were patients, officials told the media on Wednesday, with the fire having been put out in half an hour. Some local residents expressed horror at the incident.

"We hope that there won't be too many incidents including casualties, and any negative news. We still hope that everything is fine and safe," said a local resident surnamed Qi.
