Wang Fook Court Fire: The Fire Services Department said the prosecution did not look at the evidence, and the lawyer said China Development could sue Wangtai for criminal prosecution.

On the day of the Wang Fook Court fire, the alarm bells did not ring, and there was no water in the hose reels on each floor. The independent committee hearing revealed that China Development did not show up at the scene and only submitted a false fire protection installation shutdown notice for Wang Yip's benefit, causing the fire protection installation to be shut down for seven months. The Fire Services Department will conduct a disciplinary committee hearing on the two contractors on Friday. Lawyer Fan Kaijie pointed out that the prosecution time limit for submitting a false certificate is six months, but if it is a persistent violation or fraud, the time limit may not have expired. Tang Jiahua believes that China Development can be prosecuted according to other criminal regulations, and Hongtai Fire's criminal liability is more difficult to establish. After the fire, the government revised the fire protection regulations, added penalties and criminal liabilities, and extended the prosecution time limit to one year.
