TSUEN WAN M.A.C. REPRESENTATIVES VISIT FIRE STATION
******
REPRESENTATIVES OF FOUR TSUEN WAN MUTUAL AID COMMITTEES TODAY GAINED AN INSIGHT INTO THE BASIC PROCEDURES OF PREVENTING FIRE IN MULTI-STOREY BUILDINGS AND HOW TO USE FIRE-FIGHTING EQUIPMENT MORE EFFICIENTLY DURING THEIR VISIT TO TSUEN WAN FIRE STATION.
IN THE HOUR-LONG VISIT, FIRE OFFICERS GAVE THEM COMPREHENSIVE TALKS WHICH EMPHASISED THE FACT THAT FIRE HAZARDS COULD ARISE SIMPLY THROUGH CARELESSNESS AND THOUGHTLESSNESS BOTH IN THE ORDINARY HOUSEHOLD AND THE PUBLIC AREAS WITHIN BUILDINGS.
LATER, THE M.A.C. REPRESENTATIVES WATCHED A DEMONSTRATION ON THE EFFECTIVE USE OF FIRE EXTINGUISHERS AND RUBBER HOSES, AND OTHER SAFETY PROCEDURES THAT SHOULD BE ADOPTED IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE BREAKING OUT.
THEY WERE GIVEN FIRE-PREVENTION POSTERS AND PAMPHLETS WHICH THEY WOULD HELP DISTRIBUTE WITHIN THEIR BUILDINGS.
THE REPRESENTATIVES WILL ALSO PASS ON THEIR KNOWLEDGE TO FELLOW COMMITTEE MEMBERS AS WELL AS TO ENLIST THE CO-OPERATION OF ALL RESIDENTS IN MAKING THE BUILDINGS A SAFER PLACE TO LIVE IN.
TODAY'S VISIT WAS ONE OF A SERIES ARRANGED BY VARIOUS DISTRICT OFFICES FOR M.A.C. REPRESENTATIVES IN THE NEW TERRITORIES TO LEARN FIRE PREVENTION PROCEDURES FROM THEIR LOCAL FIRE STATIONS.
THE VISITS FORM PART OF THE CURRENT HONG KONG-WIDE CAMPAIGN WHICH AIMS AT PROMOTING PUBLIC AWARENESS OF THEIR VULNERABILITY TO FIRE IN A CROWDED MULTI-STOREY BUILDING.
THE REPRESENTATIVES ON TODAY'S VISIT CAME FROM THE M.A.C.S OF YAU LUEN LAU, DANG FAT MANSION, WING TING LAU AND WING LUNG LAU IN CENTRAL TSUEŃ WAN.
