Hill fire prevention publicity programmes to be organised
The Agriculture and Fisheries Department (AFD) will organise a number of educational and publicity programmes in the coming months to enhance public awareness on the danger of countryside fire and its prevention.
The programmes, mainly to publicise the hill fire prevention message, include broadcast of television and radio announcements of public interest, distribution of printed materials in the forms of posters, year planners and bookmarks, as well as the setting up of display panels at country parks.
Park wardens will visit local villagers to enlist their support.
The announcement of the forthcoming programmes was made by AFD's Assistant Director (Parks), Mr Wong Fook-yee, when addressing the opening of this year's Countryside Fire Prevention Campaign at Kei Ling Ha, Ma On Shan Country Park, this (Wednesday) morning.
