大埔宏福苑昨日發生五級大火，導致多人傷亡。行政長官李家超指，政府會全面動員、全力以赴應對這次重大災難，首要工作是撲滅火災和救援被困居民，也會救治傷者、支援善後和全面調查事件。 李家超昨晚探望傷者和受影響居民後會見傳媒時表示，對火災感到極度難過。他對死者致以深切哀悼、向死者家屬和傷者致以深切慰問，並強調政府會提供一切可行支援。 國家主席習近平高度重視此次大火，第一時間了解火災救援和人員傷亡的情況，並向李家超轉達他對遇難人員和殉職消防員的哀悼、對遇難者家屬和受災人員的慰問。李家超衷心感謝習近平的關心，也感謝中央港澳工作辦公室、中央人民政府駐香港特別行政區聯絡辦公室向他提出會全力支持。 李家超指，在消防人員不斷努力下，現場情況逐漸受控；消防處處長評估後認為目前有足夠人手和能力控制和撲滅火災。 李家超續說，他已指示特區政府各部門和單位全力進行多方面工作。滅火和救援被困居民方面，消防處調動大量消防車和救護車，又動員多名消防員和救護員，且使用無人機了解災場情況。他指示消防處動用所有需要的資源和人力全速撲救大火，同時向消防處表示政府所有資源都會全力支持這次滅火工作。 醫院管理局已啟動重大事故控制中心，統籌及協調九間公立醫院的急症室作出戒備。其中，新界東醫院聯網的雅麗氏何妙齡那打素醫院、威爾斯親王醫院和北區醫院，不同部門的人員均全力以赴進行救援。 大埔民政事務處已開放多個臨時庇護中心，民安隊則動員人手配合庇護中心的工作。此外，大埔區全區的地區服務及關愛隊伍出動支援，沙田區關愛隊也提供協助。 另外，李家超表示，警務處、消防處已成立專責小組全面調查昨日的火災，事件一定會提交予死因裁判法庭跟進。 房屋局的獨立審查組則會調查建築物的外牆保護材料是否符合認可阻燃標準。有關人員會採集樣本化驗，依法、依規追究責任。 另外，屋宇署和房屋局的獨立審查組會採取特別行動，針對進行中的工程，要求註冊建築專業人士及承建商全面覆核棚架保護網等用料，並提交報告。 屋宇署和房屋局也會主動抽查地盤的保護幕和保護網是否符合安全要求，並抽樣進行測試。

In view of the No. 5 alarm fire at Wang Fuk Court in Tai Po that had caused multiple casualties, the Chief Executive convened an interdepartmental urgent meeting yesterday afternoon. The Government’s Emergency Monitoring & Support Centre was then activated, with officers from relevant departments closely monitoring the situation, co-ordinating efforts to strive to alleviate the impact of the fire. The Government said its top priority is to extinguish the fire and rescue trapped residents; the second is to treat the injured; the third is to provide post‑incident support, offer assistance to the families of the deceased, the injured and affected residents; and the fourth is to conduct a thorough investigation to determine the cause of the fire. Firefighting, police workThe Fire Services Department (FSD) received reports at 2.51pm yesterday that a fire broke out at Wang Fuk Court. Its staff arrived speedily at 2.56pm and discovered that the scaffolds outside the building had caught fire, and that the blaze had spread to the interior and other buildings. Firefighting and rescue operations began immediately. The fire was upgraded several times and reached the No. 5 alarm at 6.22pm. Eleven jets and eight turntable ladders have been deployed for water spraying, and 26 search and rescue teams are handling assistance calls at scene. During the operation, the FSD dispatched over 200 fire appliances and about 100 ambulances, and mobilised over 1,200 fire and ambulance personnel. Separately, police officers set up a command post upon arrival and mobilised over 1,000 staff to co-ordinate residents’ evacuation, rescue operations and emergency support. In addition to directing traffic at the scene and surrounding areas, Police also implemented road closures, traffic control measures and diversions to facilitate rescue operations. Moreover, the force has set up a casualty enquiry hotline. If members of the public suspect that their relatives or friends have gone missing in relation to the fire, they can call 1878 999 for assistance. During the operation, the Auxiliary Medical Service has deployed six ambulances and 33 staff to provide on-site treatment and transport the injured to hospitals. Medical careUpon the FSD’s notification about the blaze, the Hospital Authority immediately activated the Major Incident Control Centre to co-ordinate contingency measures, with the accident and emergency departments of nine public hospitals having been alerted to standby to receive casualties. Among them, Alice Ho Miu Ling Nethersole Hospital, Prince of Wales Hospital and North District Hospital mobilised their full resources for rescue efforts. Meanwhile, North District Hospital and Prince of Wales Hospital also sent staff to the incident site to help triage and provide initial treatment to patients. The burn centres of Queen Mary Hospital and Prince of Wales Hospital, as well as Pamela Youde Nethersole Eastern Hospital’s hyperbaric oxygen therapy centre, were prepared for the incident to receive patients anytime. Evacuation needsIn response to the evacuation needs involving Kwong Fuk Estate, staff members of the Housing Department and the management company concerned have provided assistance to residents. The Housing Bureau and the Housing Department have also been maintaining close contact with the Home Affairs Department and the Social Welfare Department to provide full assistance to the affected residents, including arranging those at Wang Fuk Court and Kwong Fuk Estate in need to move to transitional housing, interim housing or transit centres. The Tai Po District Office (TPDO) has opened multiple temporary shelters for residents in need. As at 9.30pm yesterday, about 900 people were using the shelters. The TPDO has deployed all 19 District Services & Community Care Teams across the district to provide support, while the Sha Tin District Office (STDO) nearby and its care teams have provided cross-district support. Care teams in other districts will also be mobilised to provide appropriate support. The TPDO, STDO and North District Office have set up interdepartmental help desks at Alice Ho Miu Ling Nethersole Hospital, Prince of Wales Hospital and North District Hospital to provide assistance and handle public enquiries. Welfare, emotional supportAdditionally, the TPDO will provide assistance to families of the deceased and injured in their applications for the Emergency Relief Fund or the Special Aid Fund, as well as liaise with various assistance funds operated by other charitable organisations.

Besides, the Civil Aid Service mobilised over 100 people to assist with the operation of the temporary shelters. Medical social workers will provide emotional support to the injured and their families. Through liaison by the TPDO, the Hong Kong Red Cross deployed staff to the temporary shelters to provide emotional support and medical assistance. The Health Bureau has also arranged for the “18111 - Mental Health Support Hotline” to step up its manpower to handle calls. Moreover, support information on coping with stress or negative emotions has also been posted to the “Shall We Talk” social media channels. Building safetyLast month, the Buildings Department (BD) issued a circular letter to all registered building professionals and registered contractors, urging them to inspect and ascertain that the protective net and the like used in their construction projects are in compliance with the recognised standards in terms of fire-retardant capability. Wang Fuk Court is a sold property under the Home Ownership Scheme (HOS). The works are carried out by Prestige Construction & Engineering, a registered contractor hired by the Incorporated Owners of the HOS court. The Housing Bureau’s Independent Checking Unit (ICU) exercises building control over the works in accordance with the Buildings Ordinance. The ICU will conduct an investigation into the fire. If violations of the Buildings Ordinance are found, the case will be referred to the BD for handling, including prosecution or disciplinary proceedings. In response to the fire, the BD and the ICU will carry out special operations targeting ongoing construction projects. Registered building professionals and registered contractors will be required to review records or test certificates relating to the fire-retardant properties of the protective nets and the like used in scaffolds, and submit reports. As at midnight, the Tai Po fire has resulted in 36 deaths and 36 injuries, including one fireman among the deceased.
