The new satellite fire station at Yau Tong in Kowloon will be
officially opened tomorrow (Saturday) by the newly-appointed Secretary

reserved for living quarters.
Located at the junction of Ko Fai Road and Cha Kwo Ling Road,
it will be responsible for most of the major industrial and commercial
concerns in the area including Lei Yue Mun, Cha Kwo Ling and Yau Tong.
Also attending tomorrow's ceremony will be Mr. F.M. Watson, the
acting Director of Fire Services.
