The Hong Kong Housing Society has postponed a planned fire drill at Eminence Tower 1 in Hung Shui Kiu after residents raised concerns about its timing.
The drill had been scheduled for 26 November 2026, the first anniversary of the fire at Wang Fuk Court. A resident living at Eminence Tower 1 told HK01 that the date would bring back traumatic memories and said 2.30pm was the time the fire began.
The Society apologised for causing residents unease and said it would reschedule the drill and later issue an updated notice.
In April, the Society said 570 households displaced by the fire were temporarily living in units at Eminence Tower 1.
