It appears they were using bamboo scaffolding.

Bamboo? Really Bamboo?

Well still no high rise skyscraper has collapsed due to fire in the history of the world.

The fire erupted at Wang Fuk Court, a major public housing estate built in 1983 and home to around 4,600 residents. All eight of its 31-storey blocks were undergoing renovation and were completely wrapped in bamboo scaffolding when the flames began to spread.
 
Although investigators have not yet determined the cause of the Tai Po fire, officials say the blaze's rapid spread across the bamboo structures and onto neighbouring buildings will be central to the ongoing probe.
