A metal worker, Mr. Lee Dai-kau, who displayed great initiative
and public-spiritedness in rescuing a woman trapped by fire last month,

award for his bravery.
Mr. Lee went to the rescue of the woman after her kitchen caught
fire and she became trapped in a precarious position on a sixth floor
window in Wan Lok Street, Kowloon, on November 14. With the help of
firemen the woman was later hauled to safety.

Chief Fire Officer of Kowloon, at a ceremony at 11 a.m. on Saturday

to the Fire Services Welfare Fund as a token of his gratitude and will
be attending the presentation ceremony on Saturday to meet his rescuer.
