Chief Executive John Lee this afternoon visited CONCORDIA Sheung Yue River, a transitional housing project in Yuen Long, to offer comfort to victims affected by the fire at Wang Fuk Court in Tai Po. As of this morning, 945 residents had been accommodated in youth hostels/camps or hotel rooms, under the co-ordination of the Home & Youth Affairs Bureau. Another 1,470 residents have moved into transitional housing units provided by the Housing Bureau or the Hong Kong Housing Society. CONCORDIA Sheung Yue River has accommodated over 100 fire victims from approximately 60 families. During the visit, Mr Lee inquired about the residents’ living conditions. Some victims stated that the $10,000 emergency cash subsidy quickly distributed by the Government after the fire, along with essential supplies such as bedding and household appliances provided via welfare organisations, have given them immediate relief and substantial support. Mr Lee also inspected the site’s temporary supplies centre, converted from an activity room, where necessities donated by various sectors are distributed. The Chief Executive said he was deeply moved by the selfless commitment of welfare personnel and residents of the CONCORDIA Sheung Yue River neighbourhood, stating that embody Hong Kong society’s spirit of mutual help and solidarity. Meanwhile, Chief Secretary Chan Kwok-ki visited residents affected by the fire at Pok Oi Kong Ha Wai Village, a transitional housing project at Kam Sheung Road in Yuen Long, to express sympathy and understand their living conditions and actual needs. As of this morning, Social Welfare Department social workers have been in contact with about 1,450 affected households, and more than 3,300 affected residents have been registered for “one social worker per household” support services. A supplies donation online platform established by the Government and the information technology sector to facilitate registration of supplies donated by organisations and members of the public began operating yesterday. The Government has so far received over 470 registrations, with donations including food and beverage items, clothing, daily necessities, beddings and electrical appliances. As of 4pm, the Immigration Department had processed about 1,090 personal document replacement applications from affected residents. Additionally, a total of 16 applications had been processed for extensions of stay and provision of services following loss of visa records. As for transport services, five fleets will arrange for taxis to provide free special services to residents in need, mainly to and from various locations in Tai Po district. Details are provided on the dedicated Government website “Support Services for Wang Fuk Court in Tai Po”. Police have completed searches at five buildings and deployed again more than 600 officers from the Disaster Victim Identification Unit to conduct searches at structurally-safe locations in the remaining two affected buildings. As of 4pm, Police had handled eight sets of human remains from the buildings, including five newly discovered sets and three that were previously found by firefighters but not removed. The number of the deceased has been updated to 151. Forensic pathologists from the Department of Health continued to assist personnel from the Disaster Victim Identification Unit on site in collecting evidence, making every effort to help identify the deceased. As of 4pm, the next of kin of 90 victims had completed necessary procedures at the Fu Shan Public Mortuary. Regarding investigations, in addition to the three personnel from a construction company arrested earlier, Police have arrested another 10 individuals from various construction and engineering consultancy companies on suspicion of manslaughter. The Housing Bureau’s Independent Checking Unit (ICU), together with more than 100 professionals from the Housing Department (HD), conducted inspections on Saturday and Sunday of more than 1,700 units in seven buildings, namely Wang Yan House, Wang Tao House, Wang Kin House, Wang Tai House, Wang Shing House, Wang Chi House and Wang Sun House, as well as a few floors of Wang Cheong House. They HD professionals have also now completed inspection of the remaining units in Wang Cheong House. According to their assessment, the structure of some units may be subject to serious damage, but there is no imminent danger in terms of the overall structural safety in any of the buildings inspected. The Housing Bureau’s emergency maintenance contractors have completed relevant support works so that Police officers and the Fire Services Department can immediately enter the units to conduct evidence collection and other operations. The ICU has conducted on-site sampling at Wang Fuk Court and four other Home Ownership Scheme courts that have been issued notices under the Mandatory Building Inspection Scheme, including Sui Wo Court in Sha Tin, Ching Lai Court in Sham Shui Po, Yee Kok Court in Sham Shui Po, and On Kay Court in Kwun Tong. Samples collected from different positions of buildings’ protective nets had been sent to the Government Laboratory for testing. In addition, the Buildings Department has inspected 359 buildings undergoing external wall maintenance. Among these, about 300 buildings were confirmed to have had scaffold nets installed, and samples have been taken. Test results are expected to be ready in batches within this week. The Labour Department (LD) launched a city-wide special enforcement operation on November 28, targeting the fire protection facilities and fire emergency preparedness of building maintenance work sites with large-scale scaffolding. As of 4pm, the LD had inspected 61 construction sites, issued a total of 53 written warnings and 13 improvement notices, and taken out two prosecutions.

（可按這裏收看整個會見傳媒的手語翻譯短片。） 廉政公署表示，上周四成立專案小組就大埔宏福苑大維修工程可能涉及貪污展開全面調查，發現工程有使用未達阻燃標準的防護網，而涉案人士僅將少量達阻燃標準的防護網裝在棚架的「棚腳」，藉此在測試中獲得合格結果。 廉政專員胡英明今日會見傳媒時表示，調查發現，今年7月颱風襲港期間，原先安裝於宏福苑棚架上的防護網受到破壞，涉案人士於是在一間本地供應商分批購買防護網，以作更換。 證據顯示，涉案人士以每卷54元的價錢，購買2,300卷、約75,000平方米足夠包圍八座大廈的防護網，然而，這批防護網未達阻燃標準。 胡英明指，在10月底，中環發生一宗涉及棚架防護網的火警，涉案人士擔心棚架防護網會被抽查檢驗，為應付檢測，遂於同一間本地供應商以每卷100元的價錢，購買115卷約3,700平方米達阻燃標準的防護網，並安裝在每座樓宇棚架的「棚腳」，意圖魚目混珠，藉此在往後的測試獲得合格結果。 廉署至今共拘捕12人，包括工程顧問、承建商，以及搭棚判頭。
警方在宏福苑20個棚網樣本中，發現七個未達到阻燃測試標準，大多位於較難觸及的位置。政務司司長陳國基強烈譴責涉案人士處心積慮犯案，行為可恥，政府必然依法追究到底。 陳國基連同保安局局長鄧炳強等今日會見傳媒，交代大埔宏福苑五級火警跟進工作。陳國基表示，消防處牽頭的跨部門調查專組已展開實地調查工作，搜查有關火警起因和令火勢迅速蔓延等環境證據，並在現場撿走棚網、帆布等多類建築材料，作進一步測試和調查。 警方過去兩天在宏福苑20處不同地方採集棚網樣本，發現在宏泰閣、宏道閣、宏仁閣和宏志閣四幢大廈高、中、低層取得的七個樣本未達阻燃測試標準。 陳國基強調，火災調查工作與其他大廈的規管巡查工作雙軌並行，若發現在巡查中取得的樣本違規，執法部門會即時跟進，絕不姑息。 他指，截至今日上午11點，屋宇署已巡查359座報稱正在進行外牆大維修的樓宇，確認其中300座有棚網，並即時取走樣本進行測試。房屋局的獨立審查組也在四個接獲強制性驗樓通知的居屋屋苑採集棚網樣本測試。 陳國基說，相關巡查會繼續進行。巡查時若發現以發泡膠或塑膠板遮封窗戶的情況，會即時要求移除，並進一步跟進。 鄧炳強補充指，火警期間，當局曾在仍未受波及的宏志閣地面撿取樣本進行測試，結果顯示棚網合乎抗火標準，這與現場消防員、專家等觀察並不一致。 待火勢稍為受控，當局再在宏福苑八座樓宇高、中、低樓層不同地方檢取共20個樣本進行測試，其中七個樣本並不合乎阻燃標準。當中，處於唾手可得位置的樣本合格率較高，而在較難取樣地方所得的樣本不合格率則大得多。 陳國基說，涉案人士混合使用合標準和不合標準的圍網，不合標準的圍網用於只有消防員才能觸及的地方，以逃避政府檢測，手法狡猾，而且處心積慮，他強烈譴責涉案人士。 警方至今以誤殺罪名合共拘捕12男1女，年齡介乎40至77歲。他們包括大判工程公司、二判搭棚公司、二判外牆工程公司等的相關人士。
消防處呼籲市民提高警覺，指近日網上流傳一段不明來歷影片，冒用殉職消防員何偉豪家屬名義進行募捐，並使用與家屬真實銀行戶口姓名極其相似的名字，企圖詐騙。該處已即時將個案轉介警方跟進。 市民如欲向殉職屬員的家屬捐款，可將捐款存入何偉豪父親何勝的銀行戶口，戶口姓名為HO SHING，戶口號碼則為集友銀行的039-744-1-039365-9。 捐款者也可簽發支票，郵寄或親身遞交消防處轉交。支票抬頭「何勝」或「HO SHING」，地址為九龍尖沙咀東部康莊道1號，消防處總部大廈11樓南翼，消防處（福利及建築物管理），經辦人為黃瀚嶠。
