THEATRE AND OTHER DUTIES.

The number of duties performed by members of Brigade at public and private entertainments during the year was 1,551; the number of four hours duties being 287 and eight hour duties 1,264, thus a total of 11,260 hours.

MOTOR AMBULANCE SERVICE.

The Motor Ambulance service shows a considerable increase in the number of cases during 1922 when compared with previous years. Nos. 1 and 2 motor ambulances stationed at Central Fire Station and Kowloon Fire Station respectively have attended no fewer than 1,099 cases.

No. 3 Ambulance (Old Patrol Waggon) stationed at Wanchai F.B.S. was out of commission during part of the year.

CALLING THE BRIGADE.

Public Telephone.

Delay in calling the Brigade by Public telephone is still evident by the "hold" many fires obtained before the Brigade actually received the call. A great percentage of the public are obviously unaware that direct communication to the Brigade can be obtained by merely asking for "Fire Brigade" and that it is unnecessary to look through the directory for the respective Fire Station's number; also that whistle blowing is only waste of time.

Fire Alarm System:

The laying underground of the electric wires connecting the 11 Street Fire Alarms, situated in various parts of Victoria to the Central Fire Station was completed during the latter part of the year, by which means the system was made entirely satisfactory.
