The following Notification from the Superintendent of the Fire Brigade is published for general information.
By Command,
Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 14th May, 1887.
FREDERICK STEWART,
Acting Colonial Secretary.
GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.
I hereby give notice, under the powers vested in me by Section VI of the Fire Brigade Ordinance, 1868, that so soon as any Fire shall have attained sufficient magnitude to require the assistance of Fire Engines, a cordon of Police will be established round the space required for the working of the Engines at such distance from the immediate scene of conflagration as I may deem desirable. Such facilities, however, will be allowed by the Police for the salvage of property as may be possible without interfering with the space required for the working of the Brigade.
No Persons will be allowed to pass through the lines drawn by the Police except such as are in Naval or Military Uniforms, in Fire Brigade dress, or in charge of Material to be used at the Fires, or having Badges as Fire Brigade Volunteers.
Any European or American desiring to obtain the Badge of the Fire Brigade can have it by applying to me on the understanding that whoever enters the lines by means of these Badges must immediately place himself under the directions of the Officers of the Fire Brigade.
