Bitget and community groups mobilize support after Wang Fuk court fire

The recent fire at Hong Kong’s Wang Fuk Court residential complex has left many families facing loss, injury and sudden displacement. As one of the most severe residential fires in recent years, the incident has intensified public concern about building safety and the vulnerability of residents during large scale emergencies.

In the aftermath, support efforts have come from multiple directions. Bitget has established a relief fund of over HK$12 million, which is being distributed through local charities to provide temporary housing, medical assistance and financial help for essential daily needs. Alongside the exchange contribution, other cryptocurrency exchanges and industry organizations have also offered donations and practical aid, helping to address immediate shortages in supplies and services for displaced households.

The tragedy has fueled wider conversations about fire safety regulations, inspection standards, and emergency preparedness in high rise residential environments. Many residents, particularly elderly individuals and lower income families remain at heightened risk during such incidents. As relief and rebuilding efforts continue, the community is focusing not only on addressing urgent needs but also on advocating for long term improvements that could help prevent similar events in the future.
