Residents of Wang Sun House in Wang Fuk Court returned to their fire-ravaged homes on Tuesday, the second day of a supervised pick-up session, to search for salvageable belongings amidst the charred remains.

Others, perhaps overwhelmed by the scale of the loss or the hazardous environment, may have found the structured limit a necessary boundary....
