Hong Kong Fire Department Officers Testify as Wang Fuk Court Fire Investigation Enters 17th Day

Four Hong Kong fire department officers testified Wednesday before an independent committee investigating the Wang Fuk Court fire that killed 168 people on November 26 last year. The blaze, the city's deadliest since 1948, destroyed seven of eight buildings and displaced 5,000 residents. Testimony revealed a conflict between worker safety laws prohibiting scaffolding climbing and fire risks, with movable boards installed in emergency staircases replacing fireproof windows and causing smoke to fill exits. A Labour Department officer also admitted authorities failed to notice a contractor resubmitted an outdated fire retardancy report dated July 2024.

Hong Kong Fire Department Officers Testify as Wang Fuk Court Fire Inquiry Enters Day 17

Four Hong Kong fire department officers testified before an independent committee investigating the Wang Fuk Court fire that killed 168 people on November 26, 2025. The inquiry revealed that scaffolding nets installed after September 2025 were allegedly non-fire-retardant, while a Labour Department officer admitted authorities did not notice a fire retardancy report was dated July 2024 despite being a resubmission from the previous year. The deadliest blaze since 1948 also displaced about 5,000 residents and destroyed seven of eight buildings.
