Initial training of recruits was undertaken by the Training School at the modernized Kowloon Fire Station where improved facilities are available. Recruits for the Airport Fire Service under the control of the Civil Aviation Department were also trained by the Brigade in the use of various apparatus for combating aircraft fires.
