Background
On 26 November 2025, a severe fire broke out in Wang Fuk Court, a large residential estate in Hong Kong’s Tai Po district. The fire spread across eight residential high-rise blocks, affecting over 1,900 flats and more than 4,600 residents. The blaze was classified as a No. 5 alarm, Hong Kong’s highest level. As of today, 65 people have died and around 280 people are missing, making it Hong Kong’s worst fire in seven decades and one of the worst disasters in the history of the territory.
