7 people, 2 firms in Hong Kong charged over deadly fire

Hong Kong charged seven people and two companies on June 10 over the world’s deadliest residential building fire in decades, which killed 168 people at a public housing estate in 2025.

The massive blaze, which engulfed seven of the eight high-rise apartment blocks at the Wang Fuk Court estate in November 2025, prompted a months-long investigation into the cause.

Public hearings were told that almost all life-saving fire safety measures had failed on the day of the blaze because of human errors.
