At least 15 more people were injured, and about 700 have been evacuated to temporary shelters.<\/p>\n<p>The raging fire sent up a column of flames and thick smoke as it spread on bamboo scaffolding that had been set up around the exterior of the complex in the city&#8217;s Tai Po district. Live video from the scene showed firefighters aiming water at the intense flames from high up on ladder trucks as the dusk skies darkened, with smoke billowing from windows and red-hot embers falling to the ground.<\/p>\n<p>It was not immediately known what caused the fire. Officials said the fire started at the external scaffolding of one of the buildings and later spread to inside the building and also to nearby blocks, likely aided by windy conditions.<\/p>\n<p>The blaze was first reported in the mid-afternoon and has since been upgraded to a level 5 alarm, the highest level of severity, the Fire Services Department said.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-medium\">\n<p>      <span class=\"img embed__content\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/11\/26\/ef49fbb7-17b3-4299-9b77-a06a0c120c2c\/thumbnail\/620x465\/871142a6d27dbb7d64abdf359b787762\/gettyimages-2247949380.jpg#\" alt=\"Thick smoke and flames rise as a major fire engulfs several apartment blocks at the Wang Fuk Court residential estate in Hong Kong's Tai Po district on Nov. 26, 2025. \" height=\"465\" width=\"620\" class=\" lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/11\/26\/ef49fbb7-17b3-4299-9b77-a06a0c120c2c\/thumbnail\/620x465\/871142a6d27dbb7d64abdf359b787762\/gettyimages-2247949380.jpg 1x, https:\/\/assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/11\/26\/ef49fbb7-17b3-4299-9b77-a06a0c120c2c\/thumbnail\/1240x930\/fae996510fef0fd8d84e4ed39a7793a1\/gettyimages-2247949380.jpg 2x\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\">\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__caption\">Thick smoke and flames rise as a major fire engulfs several apartment blocks at the Wang Fuk Court residential estate in Hong Kong&#8217;s Tai Po district on Nov. 26, 2025.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__credit\"><\/p>\n<p>                Yan Zhao\/AFP via Getty Images<\/p>\n<p>                          <\/span><br \/>\n              <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Police have said they have received multiple reports of people trapped in the affected buildings.
