The fire broke out on Wednesday afternoon at Wang Fuk Court, a large residential complex in the Tai Po district with around 2,000 apartments. The flames spread quickly across several buildings, reportedly starting on bamboo scaffolding that had been put up for estate-wide maintenance work.Fire officials said strong winds and burning debris likely caused the flames to jump from one building to another. Derek Armstrong Chan, deputy director of fire service operations, said rescue teams were facing severe challenges. “The temperature is extremely high. There are some floors where we have not been able to reach people who requested help, but we will keep trying,” he said.
