A Hong Kong apartment fire killed at least 36, left 279 missing, and sparked safety probes.
A deadly fire erupted on November 26, 2025, at a 32-story residential complex in Hong Kong’s Tai Po district, killing at least 36 people and leaving 279 missing, according to authorities.
The blaze, which began on external scaffolding during renovations, rapidly spread across seven of eight buildings due to flammable construction materials and windy conditions.
Emergency crews, including over 900 personnel, struggled to contain the fire, which reached the highest severity level—level 5—before being partially controlled late Wednesday.
At least 29 people were hospitalized, and one firefighter died.
The complex, housing nearly 4,800 residents, many elderly, is under investigation for potential fire safety violations.
Hong Kong’s chief executive suspended election preparations, and Chinese President Xi Jinping expressed condolences.
