+UNDOUBTEDLY, FIRE PREVENTION PUBLICITY WILL BE EVEN MORE EFFECTIVE IF WE CAN GET TEACHERS AND SCHOOL CHILDREN TO HELP US,+ HE ADDED.
ALTHOUGH THE FIRE RECORD IN HONG KONG WAS GOOD IN COMPARISON WITH OTHER BIG CITIES WITH SIMILAR FIRE RISKS, MR LAM SAID, THERE SHOULD BE NO ROOM FOR COMPLACENCY.
+ONLY BY APPROPRIATE PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES CAN WE KEEP FIRE RECORDS LOW AND LESSEN THE DANGER IN SOME CASES, HE ADDED.
FOLLOWING MR LAM'S SPEECH, MRS RUBY LAU, DEPUTY CHIEF INSPECTOR, EDUCATION DEPARTMENT RECEIVED A KÍT FROM THE MANAGING DIRECTOR OF MCDONALD'S, MR DANIEL NG, SYMBOLISING THE OFFICIAL HAND-OVER OF THE 1 000 SETS.
A CERTIFICATE OF APPRECIATION WAS PRESENTED TO MCDONALD'S REPRESENTATIVE IN RECOGNITION OF THE FIRM'S SUPPORT.
MR NG THEN BRIEFLY INTRODUCED TO THE TEACHERS THE SUPPLEMENT AND SLIDES ON HOME SAFETY PRODUCED BY MCDONALD'S FOR INCLUSION IN THE KIT.
A LIVE FIRE FIGHTING DEMONSTRATION WAS STAGED BY FIRE SERVICES DEPARTMENT AFTER THE CEREMONY.
