🎙️2️⃣151 Lives Lost: A Wake-Up Call from the Hong Kong Fire Tragedy《151人失去生命:香港大火给城市的警示》

In this episode, we take a closer look at one of the most devastating fires in recent Hong Kong history.
On November 26, 2025, a fire broke out in a high-rise residential area in Tai Po District. Bamboo scaffolding and flammable renovation materials caused the flames to spread rapidly, reaching seven nearby towers in minutes.

Firefighters, police, and medical teams worked for over 43 hours to control the blaze.
The tragedy resulted in 151 deaths, many injuries, and several missing residents.

This story is not only a heartbreaking event, but also a reminder of how important safety awareness is in every city.

上个星期五,香港新界大埔区的一个高层住宅区发生了一场严重的火灾。这个地方的建筑正在做外墙装修,所以在楼外搭了很多竹子做的脚手架。

2025年11月26日下午,其中一栋大楼突然着火。因为外墙的竹子和装修材料很容易着火,火势在很短的时间里就蔓延开了,还烧到了附近的七栋高楼。

这场大火一直到第二天才基本被控制。消防员、警察和救护人员马上来到现场,救援工作持续了 超过 43 个小时。

最后确认,这次火灾导致至少 151 人死亡,还有一些居民受伤,也有人失踪。很多住户被迫在晚上离开自己的家。

这场火灾是一场非常大的悲剧。它提醒我们:无论我们住在哪里,
安全都非常重要,不能忽视。

特别是在高楼、装修工程或者有很多设备的地方,我们更要注意防火、防烟,并且了解逃生的方法。
