Annex IA brief account of the Fireat Yue Wan Estateon 11 July 1995The fireIn the afternoon of 11 July 1995, an arsonattack occurred in Flat 515 of Yue Shun House, Yue WanEstate, Chai Wan. This attack, which led to a No. 3 firealarm fire, had caused three deaths and injured eightpersons. The incident attracted wide media coverage andallegations of delay in fire fighting due to coverage ofthe Emergency Vehicular Accesses (EVAs) and defectivefire fighting equipment in the Estate.2. At a joint press conference on 13 July 1995,Fire Services Department (FSD) and Housing Department(HD) clarified the location of the three EVAs in Yue WanEstate and that there was no delay in putting out thefire. However, there were accusations of a u cover-up" insome media coverage of the press conference, leading tocalls on the Government for an independent inquiry intothe incident.Report on the fire3. On 15 July 1995, the Secretary for Housingcalled for a full report from the Director of FireServices and the Director of Housing to establish exactlywhat happened, and in the light of that, consider whatlessons can be learnt. The published report covered thetwo specific areas of concern which had been raised,namely, the adequacy of EVA to Yue Wan Estate and thecondition of fire safety equipment there.Conclusions and recommendations of the report4. The findings of the report had revealed thatthe FSD and HD had acted in good faith throughout theincident but the way in which information wasdisseminated had created misunderstanding and that therewas scope for improvements to fire precaution measuresand the maintenance of fire service installations inpublic housing estates and better co-ordination betweenthe two departments.
5. The report had also made severalrecommendations for, inter alia, improving fireprecaution measures and maintaining fire serviceinstallations in public housing estates. Theserecommendations had later been accepted by the Governmentfor implementat ion.
