NEW SYSTEM OF FIRE ALARMS

Network Of Public Emergency Posts For Colony

Efficiency Of H.K.

Brigade

Hong Kong possesses one of the most modern and efficient fire brigades of any city cast of Cairo. A thorough survey of its fire prevention equip- ment, personnel training, and five main sta- tions, shows that the postwar standard of the Colony's fire service is higher by far than many cities which have had equivalent op- portunities of rehabilitation..

Among future plans.to lessen the fire risk in the Colony is a modern, public fire-alarm system comprising a network of 100 emergency posts to be placed at various spots in Hong Kong and Kowloon. This new communications ser- vice will replace the prewar fire alarm system which was destroyed during the occupation. Two sets of fifty alarm boxes will be erected in the more densely populated and factory areas, both in Kowloon and Hong Kong, The public will be able to communicate with the nearest fire station by breaking the glass and pushing the knob. According to
