SUMMARY:2025 Hong Kong Wang Fuk Court apartment fire
DESCRIPTION:On 26 November 2025\, a large fire broke out at the Wang Fuk Court apartment complex in Tai Po District\, New Territories\, Hong Kong. \nThe fire killed at least 159\, including one firefighter\, and injured 79 as of 3 December 2025. Over 30 people remain unaccounted for. Most of the casualties were found in their apartments. The apartment complex was undergoing major repairs to the exterior walls of all eight residential towers. Bamboo scaffolding was erected to the full height of the buildings and wrapped with construction safety netting and tarps. As early as 14:00 HKT (UTC+08:00) at Wang Cheong House (Block F)\, the safety netting covering the lower floors was ignited. Flammable expanded polystyrene (Styrofoam) foam boards covering the windows acted as potential accelerants for the fire\, which quickly spread inside the building and to the adjacent blocks. Seven of the eight buildings of the complex were ultimately affected by the fire. It is the first five-alarm fire in Hong Kong since the 2008 Cornwall Court fire\, and the deadliest fire accidents in Hong Kong since the 1948 Wing On warehouse fire in which 176 people died. \nLinks:\nDodental flatbranden Hongkong loopt op tot 36\, met veel bewoners nog geen contact \nDodental brand Hongkong opgelopen naar 94\, zeker 300 mensen vermist \nZoekactie na brand appartementencomplex Hongkong afgerond\, dodental naar 159
