There are small Sub-Stations at Shaukiwan, Aberdeen, and Yaumati. A new Sub-Station is under construction at Tsim Sha Tsui.
The following changes have been made in the location of fire appliances:
One steamer has been removed to Shaukiwan Sub-Station. One steamer is at Yaumati Sub-Station.
A steamer mounted on a barge will shortly be stationed at Aberdeen.
A manual fire engine has been supplied for use at Un Long, New Territories, where a Volunteer Fire Brigade has been organized.
Staff: Sickness and Injuries.-There has been no contagious disease except influenza and there have been no accidents during the year.
Dismissed from Service.-Two Motor Drivers were dismissed for misconduct.
Two Firemen were dismissed for misconduct.
Watching Duty.-A continuous watch has been kept at the Central Fire Station by night and by day in the Telephone and Engine Rooms.
Engines starting up.-No Motor Engine has failed to start up during the year. Engines (Motors) are tested daily.
General.--It will be seen by the record of fires that the work of the Brigade is on the increase. The permanent staff was increased by 8 Chinese firemen to man the new motor appliances and further increases have been approved, mainly in connection with the new Sub-Station at Tsim Sha Tsui in Kowloon. There has been a large increase in the number of new buildings erected during the year and further building operations are in progress all over the City and in Kowloon.
