recommended, the result of their use has, without exception, been immediate and satisfactory and,
and, consequently, the damage practically nil.
As result of the Strike which occurred during the year,
24 members deserted from the Brigade and this had the effect of reducing the personnel to one-third of its authorised strength. With a view to averting serious consequences due to such shortage the generous offer of a number number of Chinese gentlemen to be trained to act as Volunteer Firemen during the emergency period was gladly accepted but the result unhappily proved futile owing to the fact that they were not altogether capable of performing the strenuous and dangerous work of firemen.
The thanks of the Brigade are due to the Naval & Military Forces and also to the Scouts and the St. John's Ambulance Brigade who have generously and most appreciably assisted the Brigade from time to time during the year.
