The guidelines also provide information about fire services installations as well as some directions as to the right steps to take when an outbreak of fire occurs.
The Training Guide was prepared with the assistance of the Fire Services Department and the two trade associations from the property management and security fields, namely, the HKAPMC and the Security Association.
Copies of the Guide will be distributed to property managers and security guards at the coming fire prevention seminar. Owners Corporations, Mutual Aid Committees and their security guards will also receive copies through the Home Affairs Department.
Also present at today's press conference were the Deputy Chief Fire Officer (Fire Protection Bureau), Mr Chu Man-chun; President of the HKAPMC, Mr Alfred Lai; Chairman of the Education Committee, the Hong Kong Institute of Housing, Mr Johnnie Chan; and Vice-Chairman of the SGSIA, Mr Edward Pong.

Garrison gets physical
=
Two Physical Training Instructors (PTIs) at the Hong Kong Garrison will climb twice the height of Central Plaza the territory's tallest building, run more than a marathon, do more than 6,000 sit-ups and cycle the equivalent of Central to Sai Kung and back, all without leaving the building.
Warrant Officer II "Tug" Wilson and Sergeant George Best, PTIs at the Prince of Wales Barracks, will take part in a Physathon, 24 hours of non-stop exercise, beginning at 12 noon tomorrow (Thursday).
Colleagues within the Garrison have been invited to sponsor them to raise money for a local charity, the Mother's Choice Baby Care Home.
"We wanted to take the opportunity before we all split up and return to the United Kingdom to do something to remember out time in Hong Kong," explained Sergeant Best, the Physathon's organiser.
"This way, we can do something for others at the same time," he added.
