According to the needs of the Hong Kong SAR Government, the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region coordinated with the Ministry of Emergency Management to continue providing the latest batch of supplies such as protective goggles and waterproof gloves for the relief efforts of the Tai Po fire in Hong Kong. The supplies were delivered to Hong Kong on the 3rd and put into use. After the fire, the central government attached great importance to the progress of the rescue and quickly mobilized national resources to support Hong Kong. The Liaison Office of the Central People's Government in the Hong Kong SAR promptly followed up on the rescue situation and organized a working group to arrive in Hong Kong on November 27th. They coordinated with Guangdong Province to allocate rescue equipment and medical supplies, which were gradually delivered to Hong Kong on the evening of the 27th and the morning of the 28th. Tsang Suk-yin, the head of the Hong Kong Police Force's casualties inquiry center and Chief Superintendent, stated that the emergency lighting equipment provided support for the police disaster victim identification team in their search and rescue efforts. It was explained that the environment at the scene of the fire was complex, and the emergency lighting system effectively improved the lighting conditions, ensuring the safety of the rescue personnel, enhancing the efficiency of night-time search and rescue operations, and creating conditions for the smooth progress of the work.
