4. In March Government approved a recommendation that the reinforced concrete buildings, known as Andrew Harper Buildings, 745-747, Nathan Road, Kowloon should be rented as a Fire Station, instead of the unsatisfactory premises rented as Mong Kok Fire Station. The new premises were adapted in accordance with Brigade plans. Work was completed by May 1st, when the Brigade moved in. The old Mong Kok Fire Station was closed at the same time.
The staff and appliances from Sham Shui Po sub-station were transferred to the new premises. This sub-station was merged into Sham Shui Po Police Station affording a much needed increase of accommodation. The acquisition of the new premises enabled certain economies of staff, and provided additional married quarters for European Officers.
The new Station has the following features:-
(1) Five bays for fire appliances.
(2) Three bays for ambulances.
(3) Space for accommodating the Brigade Workshop plant and artisan staff.
(4) Accommodation for 60 Chinese Sub-Officers and men.
(5) Three flats for European Officers Quarters.
