xiāng gǎng香港dà huǒ大火yǐn fā引发guān zhù关注，shì mín市民hū yù呼吁diào chá调查
In November 2024, a serious fire broke out in a residential area in Tai Po, Hong Kong, causing many deaths, injuries, and some people missing.
When the fire happened, many residents did not know the building was on fire because the alarm did not sound and the windows were blocked by foam boards used for repairs.
The fire spread quickly, making it difficult for firefighters to rescue people.
Many believe that the fire was not caused by bamboo scaffolding, but by many problems in the repair work, such as the use of flammable materials and poor management.
Residents had previously complained to the government about safety issues but were not taken seriously.
After the fire, everyone hopes the government will conduct a serious investigation, improve safety measures, and prevent similar incidents from happening again.
