‘Remembered forever’: condolence books for Hong Kong firemen who died in city’s longest-running fire in decades
Fire Services Department arranges two locations for members of the public wishing to write their sympathies
Books of condolence have been set up at two Hong Kong fire services department locations for the two firefighters who died this week battling an inferno at a local industrial building.
In the academy’s education centre, flowers adorned a table covered in a simple white cloth on which a book was available for members of the public to write their words of sympathy.
In the book, Coka Wu, a colleague of the two men, wrote: “Your spirits of kindness and generous sacrifices would always be in our heart.”
Another visitor, also surnamed Wu, told the Post: “I’m just an ordinary citizen who can do nothing but express my wish. A friend of mine is a firefighter, which makes me more touched by the accident.”
