Introduction to the Fire and Ambulance Services Academy Open Day
In support of and in response to the National Security Education Day, the Fire Services Department ("FSD") opened its Fire and Ambulance Services Academy to the public on 15 April 2021. The fun-filled programme included demonstration and experience sessions of the three basic skills of emergency preparedness (use of a fire extinguisher, cardiopulmonary resuscitation and emergency evacuation), and tours to simulated training facilities, the simulated Pak Shing Kok railway station and the Fire and Ambulance Services Education Centre cum Museum, with the aim of enhancing public understanding of the FSD's efforts on safeguarding national security. On that day, FSD personnel gave Chinese-style foot drill performances in public for the first time, and the Government Flying Service mounted a static helicopter and search and rescue equipment display to deepen people's understanding of its round-the-clock air support services and duties regarding societal security.
