Chung Kit-man

Chung Kit-man is a property management worker at the Wang Fuk Court housing estate in Tai Po, Hong Kong. He is newsworthy due to his involvement in the ongoing investigation into the November 26th fire at the estate, which resulted in 168 fatalities. During the sixth day of evidentiary hearings by an independent committee, it was revealed that Chung Kit-man was unaware that the fire alarms had been deactivated. This deactivation occurred after the hose reel system was shut down for water tank repairs. The hearings are focusing on the circumstances surrounding the deactivation of the fire alarm system and its potential impact on the severity of the fire. Chung Kit-man's testimony is relevant to understanding the operational procedures and communication failures within the property management that may have contributed to the disaster.
