A devastating fire that engulfed several high-rise residential buildings in Hong Kong’s Wang Fuk Court complex has been brought under control after more than 24 hours of intense firefighting. The death toll has risen to 94, with around 300 people still missing. Authorities have arrested three executives from the construction company responsible for renovation work at the site, suspecting negligence and unsafe materials contributed to the tragedy. Built in 1983, the complex was undergoing renovation and was surrounded by bamboo scaffolding and mesh coverings, which may have accelerated the fire’s spread. Residents reported receiving no fire alarms and had to alert neighbors manually. This incident is considered Hong Kong’s deadliest fire in nearly 80 years. Rescue teams faced extreme heat and thick smoke as they worked to reach trapped residents in the upper floors. Investigations are ongoing to determine the exact cause and assess accountability for the disaster.
