As regards the rear blocks of developments,

they must be so planned that Fire Services Department

30 M

equipment can get within 30 metres of domestic blocks

and right up to industrial and commercial blocks.

As to guidance on evacuation measures, the

Government regularly publicises fire prevention messages

to the general public through television, radio, posters

and fire prevention campaigns. Notices in the form of

stickers reminding occupants of high-rise buildings

(a)

not to use lifts in the event of a fire;

(b) not to obstruct means of escape; and

(c) not to lock exit doors indiscriminately

have been widely circulated. In addition, the Fire

Services Department assist building management to draw

up evacuation plans and to conduct fire drills on

request.
