At least 13 people have died and an unknown number remain trapped after a massive fire tore through multiple high-rise residential towers in Hong Kong’s Tai Po district on Wednesday. ⁣ ⁣ Thick smoke and flames engulfed the 31-storey blocks of the Wang Fuk Court housing complex — home to nearly 2,000 units — while firefighters battled the blaze as night fell. ⁣ ⁣ Three people are in critical condition, one is in serious condition, and several others, including fire services staff, have been injured.⁣ ⁣ Frames of bamboo scaffolding collapsed as the fire spread across the buildings, many of which were under renovation. ⁣ ⁣ The blaze was raised to a No. 5 alarm — the city’s highest — at 6:22 p.m., prompting major road closures as the Transport Department shut a key section of Tai Po Road and diverted buses. ⁣ ⁣ #Hongkong #Fire #HKFire #BreakingNews
