Firefighter Ho Wai-ho died in Hong Kong’s deadliest fire since 1948, which killed 160 and prompted a safety investigation.
Firefighter Ho Wai-ho, 37, died battling a deadly Nov. 26 blaze at Wang Fuk Court in Tai Po, Hong Kong’s worst fire since 1948, which killed 160 and displaced nearly 5,000.
The fire spread rapidly through seven buildings due to substandard renovation materials.
Ho, a nine-year veteran posthumously honored as a senior fireman, was among those who lost their lives.
His funeral on Dec. 19 drew widespread public and official mourning, with Chief Executive John Lee and firefighters paying tribute.
His coffin, draped in the Hong Kong flag, was escorted to Wang Fuk Court and then to his fire station before burial at Gallant Garden.
The tragedy has prompted a judge-led independent investigation into building safety and oversight, with findings expected in nine months.
