Firemen
their high efficiency and professionalism in putting out a fire at a San Po Kong factory two weeks
ago.
The administration officer of the Star Industrial Co. Ltd, Miss Veronica Grace Leung, today (Wednesday) called on Wong Tai Sin Fire Station to thank the fire-fighters personally.
During her visit, she presented a pennant to the Chief Fire Officer (Kowloon), Mr Henry Tang Siu, and a cash cheque to the Fire Services Welfare Fund in recognition of their distinguished performance.
The fire broke out at the factory, which was situated on the fifth floor of an industrial building at 25 Tai Yau Street, at 10.28 am on March 10. Firemen from Wong Tai Sin and Ma Tau Chung Fire Stations arrived at the scene three minutes later.
They immediately started battling the blaze and put it out within 13 minutes, causing little damage to the factory which could resume normal operation the same morning.
