A massive Hong Kong high-rise fire at the Wang Fuk Court housing estate in Tai Po has left four people dead, several others critically injured, and dozens displaced, reigniting concerns over fire safety in one of the world's densest cities.
Authorities say the blaze, which began on the afternoon of 26 November 2025, ripped across multiple towers after flames spread through bamboo scaffolding and construction netting wrapped around the buildings' exteriors.
