On November 27, 2025, in Tai Po, Hong Kong, @pcmarriott shared a video capturing a devastating fire at the Wang Fuk Court complex. The blaze started on the exterior bamboo scaffolding of Wang Cheong House and rapidly spread, engulfing multiple buildings across the eight-block complex. Thick smoke and towering flames are visible, with burning debris being ejected from the structures, creating a chaotic and dangerous scene.
Reports indicate that the fire has caused at least 44 fatalities, including a 37-year-old firefighter, and left dozens injured. Hundreds of residents are reported missing. Authorities noted that the rapid spread was exacerbated by substandard building materials, including waterproof tarpaulins, plastic sheeting, and Styrofoam used during renovations.
