Our community continues to grieve the tragic fire at Wang Fuk Court, Tai Po on 26 November 2025. Our thoughts are with all residents affected by this heartbreaking event.
In response, several legal sector organisations have launched dedicated assistance schemes for those impacted. If you or anyone you know needs legal support, please consider contacting:
The Law Society of Hong Kong — Emergency Free Legal Helpline: 📞 2840 1011 (for Tai Po fire victims) (https://www.taipofire.gov.hk/eng/legal.html?utm_source=chatgpt.com)
Hong Kong Bar Association — via their Pro Bono Scheme. (https://hkba.org/content/pro-bono-scheme)

Equal Justice – Community legal-access NGO; you can contact them at 📞 +852 9321 8483 (WhatsApp/phone Monday–Friday, 10:00–18:00) or via email help@equaljustice.org
For members of the legal profession who wish to contribute, we encourage you to continue to volunteer with these organisations. Many of them are seeking additional support from barristers, solicitors, trainees and law students to handle enquiries, provide pro bono advice.
Meanwhile, we also encourage you to explore this community-led resource (in both Traditional Chinese and English) that consolidates verified news, updates, photos and videos about the incident - a useful reference for anyone seeking accurate information: https://hong-kong-emergency-coordination-hub.github.io/Hong-Kong-Fire-Documentary/
