The Fire Services Department's policy of development and expansion is linked with the progress of Hong Kong. Such factors" as the creation of new towns in the New Territories, the development of multi-storey buildings and traffic patterns play a vital part in determining the location of fire and ambulance stations. The continuing objec- tive of the department is to base men with equipment where they can most effectively respond to emergencies. Hong Kong has more than 600 ambulance personnel and 3,000 firemen. Ready to fight fires and aid the sick and injured, no matter how difficult the conditions, it is their skill and deter- mination which is the Fire Services Depart- ment's greatest asset. A high standard of physical fitness is the prerequisite for firemen who, on recruitment, complete a 26 weeks' training course at Pat Heung in the New Territories. Oh graduation, they are qualified in, all aspects of fire- fighting including rescue methods, aircraft crash and fire procedures, the use of breathing apparatus and communications. Hong Kong has one of the most modern, well-equipped fire departments" in "the world. Because of the territory's high-rise development, it is essential to have sophisticated equipment which can cope with the features of these buildings. As well as fire-fighting, the Fire Services Department spends much time in preven- tive work, educating people about" fire risks, investigating possible fire hazards. and recommending safety measures for buildings. The Ambulance Command oper- ates more than 120 ambulances.
