A massive fire tore through the Wang Fuk Court housing complex in Tai Po, Hong Kong on November 26, 2025. Flames engulfed several high-rise towers wrapped in bamboo scaffolding, killing at least 44 people and leaving 279 missing. Emergency teams — over 760 first responders and 128 fire engines — battled the blaze, which may have spread rapidly due to combustible materials used in ongoing renovations. Three construction workers were arrested on suspicion of manslaughter, as authorities start investigating safety breaches. Temporary shelters have been opened for evacuees, and officials warned of elevated fire risk across the city. (Washington Post, November 26, 2025)
