Public invited to join Fire Services monitoring body

Members of the public who wish to monitor and improve the delivery of fire and ambulance emergency services are urged not to miss the chance to join the Fire Services Department's Public Liaison Group (PLG).

A spokesman for the department said the deadline for application is 5 pm on February 28 (next Friday).

He said the PLG was formed to foster better understanding between the public and the department with a view to improving the quality of emergency services.

Members of the public aged 18 and above are invited to apply.

Application forms and information sheets are available at all fire stations, ambulance depots and District Offices.

The spokesman said the PLG would have 30 members, comprising 10 residents from each of the territory's three regions - Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and the New Territories.

"If the number of applications for each region exceeds 10, a random draw will be held," he said.
