A devastating five-alarm fire has swept through a Hong Kong residential estate, claiming lives and forcing residents into temporary shelters during days of intense rescue efforts.

The blaze erupted at Wang Fuk Court in the Tai Po district of the New Territories on November 27, 2025, sending plumes of smoke and flames through the building complex.

Firefighters battled the inferno for two days while volunteers distributed supplies and donated goods to those who lost their homes.

Neighbors rallied around the displaced families, cheering on the emergency crews and setting up makeshift rest areas near the charred scene.

Flowers have since been laid at the site to mourn the victims who perished in the disaster.
