03:17First of all,

03:18the victims are mostly in the Hồng昌閣

03:22and the Hồng泰閣.

03:24Because these two buildings

03:26are more powerful.

03:29And if you say

03:32there are other victims in different buildings

03:36we have been able to find the new people.

03:40In terms of the materials

03:45in the fire and the fire and the fire

03:48we also found that the other buildings

03:50have been found in the building.

03:52In terms of the fire and the fire

03:56We will be able to finish the fire and the fire

03:59and the fire and the fire.

04:00We will be able to build a fire

04:03the fire and the fire.

04:04and then the fire and the fire will be able to

04:20In terms of the fire,

04:21we have to provide an accurate call to end.

04:24The fire is not going to be closed?

04:26Do you expect the people's

04:40What time can we交 to the whole environment?

04:44This is a little bit

04:46We will do the fire and the fire

04:49and the fire will be done

04:51after that, we can answer

04:53Thank you very much.

05:23其實你們在火場裏面遇到困難是否比你們想像中更加大呢?

05:28剛才黃家庭問到那些物料

05:31怎樣會令到其實對於你們整個工作

05:34是不是萬年都有些逆問呢?

05:38我們預計是今晚可以完成那個滅火的程序

05:43我們好像記者朋友所講

05:46我們都見到有個別的單位火光紅紅

05:48但是其實我們的消防喉已經開到那些單位

05:54所以我們都有信心今晚可以完成的

05:57至於為甚麼被預計的時間需要長久呢?

06:02其實因為火場面積實在太大

06:05大家都可以見到牽涉到七座大廈和整棟大廈

06:10很多地方是我們做完之後都有一些翻燒的情況

06:14我們需要翻手去再造

06:16所以我們現在其實都部署了一些同事

06:19在大廈的不同地方

06:22我們就進行一個灑水去降溫

06:25那之前因為實在太多地方的火勢猛烈

06:28我們做不到這個工作

06:30那現在我們有一些人手可以做到

06:33那我們相信可以有效地防止它再死灰復燃

06:37我們要多加以降

06:38我們可能會有機會

06:39我們要多加些人

07:07taking so long to be extinguished what are the sort of main challenges and difficulties in achieving that thank you

07:15for the remaining 25 assistant calls we actually out of the 25 three is three calls are received

07:25recently hours before so yeah we will we will conduct our search and rescue operation to the

07:32three assistant call first and then handle the other the remaining 22. and for the

07:39firefighting operation we encounter particular difficulties in several areas like the fire

07:49the fire was spreading exceptionally fast exceptionally rapid so as you can see the fire

07:57spread quickly to all the seven blocks of the estate and secondly it where we receive a lot of

08:05these assistant calls so we have to deploy our crews to handle the assistant calls at the same time

08:14besides debris and scalping were falling from upper floors making our access to the to the affected

08:23buildings very difficult and there are also the other reasons like high temperature darkness and

08:34also there are there there is another reason is the emergency vehicle access was blocked by the fallen

08:42scaffolding and debris so making our access to the attached building very difficult particularly our

08:50uh uh uh uh turnsable ladder and uh hydrodite platform

08:55yeah

08:57uh

08:59uh

09:01uh

09:03uh

09:05uh

09:07uh

09:09uh

09:11uh

09:15uh

09:17What is the total amount of 10 years?

09:24First of all, I will answer the question.

09:29The four of them are still open to the four of them.
