A disciplinary hearing concerning two fire safety contractors involved with the Wang Fuk Court blaze in Tai Po has been postponed. The contractors are accused of failing to adequately maintain disabled fire safety systems at the building before the fire occurred last year. The Registered Fire Service Installation Contractors Disciplinary Board made the decision to adjourn the hearing, according to a statement released by the Fire Services Department on Monday night. Details regarding the reason for the postponement were not immediately available. The incident at Wang Fuk Court prompted scrutiny of fire safety regulations and contractor responsibilities in Hong Kong. Further updates will be provided as the board determines a new hearing date. Investigations into the cause of the fire are ongoing.
