On November 26, 2025, a large fire broke out in Hung Fuk Court, Tai Po, New Territories, Hong Kong. Like a fierce beast, it instantly engulfed multiple residential buildings.
As of December 3rd, this disaster has caused 159 deaths, 19 bodies to be identified, 31 missing cases, and countless families to be torn apart. The entire society is immersed in immense grief.
This fire is not only a tragedy, but also a heavy alarm bell that rings our attention to fire safety.
PART-01
The scene of the fire | The brutality and difficulty of rescue
After the fire broke out, the scene was like a purgatory on earth. Thick smoke billows and covers the sky, even during the day, a small amount of sunlight enters through the window, but the light is far from sufficient. Areas far away from the window or corners of the house are even dimly lit, which poses great difficulties for search and rescue work.
Search and rescue personnel can only rely on headlights and handheld lighting tools to search for survivors in the ruins. The interior of the building was pitch black with thick smoke, and many bodies were found in different locations, each of which was heart wrenching.
The difficulty of extinguishing this fire is extremely high, mainly due to the complexity of "three-dimensional combustion" in high-rise buildings. The fire rapidly spread on the exterior scaffolding of the old building, which is over 40 years old, forming a "chimney effect".
Under the influence of strong winds, the fire is like a runaway wild horse, difficult to control. Although firefighters deployed a large number of rescue forces, they were still unable to quickly contain the spread of the fire.

Analysis of Fire Causes | Accomplice of Flammable Materials
Preliminary investigations have found that materials such as protective nets and waterproof canvas on the exterior walls of the building that caught fire may not have met fire safety standards, and the large amount of flammable foam that sealed the windows became an accomplice to the rapid spread of the fire.
Foam adhesive, as a temporary, flexible, and low-cost building material, was commonly used in the renovation, partition, and insulation projects of old buildings in the early years, but its fire resistance performance is extremely poor.
Under the influence of strong winds, the burning foam rubber fragments drifted towards adjacent buildings, causing the fire to break through the distance between buildings and eventually spread to seven buildings, causing irreparable damage.
In addition, the flame retardant properties of materials such as shed nets used on construction sites are also highly likely to be unqualified. These flammable materials add fuel to the fire, making it even more intense and making rescue efforts more difficult.

Fireproof and flame-retardant silicone adhesive | Guardian in a fire
In a fire, fire-resistant and flame-retardant silicone adhesive plays a crucial role. It is like a sturdy defense line that can prevent the spread of fires and create valuable time for people's escape.
When a fire occurs, fire-resistant and flame-retardant silicone adhesive will not become a medium for the spread of fire. It can withstand high temperatures and effectively block the spread of fire and heat.
The use of fire-resistant and flame-retardant silicone adhesive in important areas such as pipelines, channels, and fire partitions inside buildings can reduce the harm caused by fire and protect people's lives and property safety.
