4. Stations and Equipment. It was not found possible to proceed with any new Stations during the year 1928 but additional premises adjoining Mong Kok Sub-Station were leased, thus converting the small Sub-Station at Mong Kok into a full-sized Station with full Fire Brigade personnel and an equipment of 2 Motor Appliances.
5. Hill Fires. Owing to the very dry season, there were an unusually large number of Hill fires which the Brigade were called upon to cope with in conjunction with the Police and the Staff of the Botanical Department.
6. Recruits. No difficulty was experienced in obtaining sufficient Recruits during the year, but the Brigade is still slightly short of its full numbers owing to the large number of resignations.
The report of the Superintendent giving full details of the work of the Brigade during the year 1928 is attached.
E. D. C. WOLFE, Chief Officer Fire Brigade.
22nd February, 1929.
