Tuesday, February 27, 1973
A public-spirited citizen, Mr. Woo Sun, will be presented
with a Certificate of Commendation by the Fire Services Department
on Friday (March 2) for his bravery in rescuing two children in
a fire on New Year's Day.
Hr. Woo, a resident of the Kwai Chung Resettlement
Estate, was painting his flat on January 1 when he heard shouts for
help from a neighbouring flat.
He immediately rushed to the scene and rescued two
brothers, Ng Kam-wah and Kam-fai, from the burning flat.
In the course of rescuring the brothers, Mr. Woo incurred
burns on his feet, and was rushed to hospital for treatment.
The Chief Fire Officer, N.T. Command, Mr. F. Jackson,
will present the Certificate to Mr. Woo in a ceremony to be held
at 12 noon in the Kwai Chung Public Enquiry Service Centre.
Mr. Moo, 45 years old, works as a sound-recorder in a
film studio.
