2025 Wang Fuk Court fire On 26 November 2025,
a fire broke out at Block F in Wang Fuk Court at 2:51 p.m., before spreading to six other blocks. The fire was caused by the inferior plastic net wrapped around the building. It is suspected to have mainly originated from workers smoking, as cigarette butts were found strewn on residents' window ledges, likely spreading to the flammable plastic net, then transferring to the entire building. All property windows and ventilation were also covered by highly flammable styrofoam boarding and thin wooden plates. Prior to the fire, residents already had suspicions of corruption around the renovation plans that led to the fire, citing fire hazards, a lack of transparency, and high costs. Authorities rated the fire as
level 5, the most serious category, the first such incident since the
Cornwall Court fire in 2008. At least 161 people were killed, ==See also==
