On 26 November, 2025, the five-alarm fire broke out at Tai Po Wang Fuk Court, severely affecting over 1,900 households and resulting in countless families losing their homes. The Hong Kong Red Cross (HKRC) promptly activated its emergency response mechanism and worked closely with government departments. Immediate emergency assistance was provided to affected residents through the deployment of local disaster relief, first aid, and mental health and psychosocial support teams in 2 hours after the fire broke out, along with volunteers, to the temporary shelters and relief stations set up by the Tai Po Civil Affairs Office. Distributing essential supplies, including pillows, quilts, mattresses, chargers, and personal hygiene items.
 

Emergency Actions by the Hong Kong Red Cross:

An emergency operation center has been established, with providing first aid, emergency medical, and psychological support services for six temporary shelters overnight. Launched a psychological support hotline (5164 5040) and deployed staff and volunteers to temporary shelters to offer Mental Health and Psychological support service. 
 

Upcoming Actions:

The HKRC will continue to provide Mental Health and Psychological support and first aid services at the temporary shelters.
