An asteroid has been officially named after Hong Kong firefighter Ho Wai-ho, who tragically died last year while battling a large fire at Wang Fuk Court. The fire, which occurred at a housing complex, resulted in the deaths of 168 people and was a significant emergency response event. The asteroid was discovered by a Hong Kong-born astronomer, recognizing Ho’s bravery and dedication. The naming serves as a lasting tribute to the 37-year-old’s sacrifice in the line of duty. This act acknowledges the profound impact of the fire and the courage displayed by first responders. The designation provides a celestial memorial to a local hero.
