Mr Fred Jackson, QFSM, CPM,-JP
Following war service as a naval officer Mr Jackson served 11 years in the UK Fire Services and Home Office Training School before being appointed Station Officer with the Hong Kong Fire Services in 1958. Although he has commanded all the major formations of the department, most of his service in Hong Kong has been in the operational formations, especially the high fire and life risks of industrial and commercial Kowloon Fire Command, which he has commanded for the last 6 years. He has probably attended
and commanded operations at more major emergencies than any other senior officer of the service. He has contributed greatly to the development of the Hong Kong Fire Services throughout his 23 years of service.
