A devastating fire swept through a Hong Kong housing complex in Tai Po district, killing at least 44 people and leaving 279 missing. Police arrested three construction company directors on manslaughter charges after the deadly blaze spread across seven high-rise buildings on November 26, 2025.
Key Details:
Fire started at external scaffolding on a 32-story tower
Spread to 7 of 8 buildings in the complex
62 people injured, including a firefighter who died
About 900 residents evacuated to temporary shelters
Flammable Styrofoam materials found on exterior walls
Most victims believed to be elderly residents
Level 5 alarm (highest severity) declared
The housing complex, built in the 1980s, housed approximately 4,800 people across 2,000 apartments. Authorities suspect construction materials did not meet fire resistance standards, leading to the rapid spread of flames aided by windy conditions.
This is Hong Kong's deadliest fire since 1996, when 41 people died in a Kowloon commercial building fire.
