In a dramatic display of cross-region collaboration, emergency equipment from the Chinese mainland is playing a pivotal role in ongoing search and rescue operations after a deadly fire at Hong Kong’s Wang Fuk Court. 🚒 With over 30,000 items of specialized gear deployed, mainland tech is proving to be a game-changer for responders tackling the crisis.
💡 "The exoskeleton suits are like something out of a sci-fi movie," said DVIU Head Cheng Ka-chun, describing how the gear helps officers carry remains up 30+ floors without power. The suits reduce physical strain by up to 60%, allowing teams to work longer in hazardous conditions.
Another standout? A wearable lighting system that illuminates pitch-black disaster zones. 🔦 With adjustable brightness modes, it’s helping teams spot critical evidence in cluttered spaces—think "flashlights on steroids" for precision rescue work.
This joint effort highlights deepening ties between the Chinese mainland and Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, proving that when disaster strikes, innovation knows no borders. 🌉✨
