A very serious fire happened in Hong Kong last year

A large fire in Hong Kong killed many people last year. This fire was the worst fire in Hong Kong for 70 years. About 168 people died. The fire happened at a building called Wang Fuk Court.

Now the government is taking action. Police have charged some people for the fire. This is the first time anyone has been charged for this fire. The charges mean the police think these people did something wrong.

Why did the fire start? This is a very important question. Experts looked at the building after the fire. They found many problems. The building did not have good safety systems. Some areas were blocked. The building was very old.

The government wants to learn from this terrible fire. They will check other old buildings. They want to stop another big fire. Fire safety is very important in Hong Kong.

Families of the people who died are very sad. They want the government to find out what happened. They want the government to help them. The charges show that the government is working on this.
