Due to
the rapid increase in workload on fire protection and
prevention in recent years, the Fire Protection Command
has been split into two, namely the Licensing & Control
Command and the Fire Safety Command, with effect from
1.6.1999. The Fire Safety Command is responsible for drawing
up fire safety policies, enforcing fire safety regulations,
enhancing public awareness on fire safety, upgrading of
fire safety in old buildings and vetting of loans for
fire safety improvement works.
.
The Building Improvement and Support Division is responsible
for enforcing the Fire
Safety (Buildings) Ordinance which requires owners/occupiers
of certain kinds of composite buildings and domestic buildings
to enhance the fire safety measures in their buildings/premises.
In addition, the Division is responsible for inspection
work in respect of building fire safety complaints (other
than licensed premises and dangerous goods).
The Commercial Buildings and Premises Division enforces
the Fire
Safety (Commercial Premises) Ordinance which requires
owners/occupiers of prescribed commercial premises or
specified commercial buildings to enhance the fire safety
in their buildings/premises.
The Community Relations Section exerts great effort on
public education on fire protection and aims at enhancing
community involvement in promoting fire safety and fire
prevention at district levels. A territory-wide fire protection
publicity campaign with a main theme is held annually.
In addition, the Section provides logistic support to
Operational Commands and co-ordinates cross-Command fire
prevention activities where necessary. The Community Relations
Section is also responsible for administering the Fire
Safety Ambassador Scheme for the general public to participate.
The Railway Development Strategy (RDS) Division was established
on 2.4.2001. The Division is responsible for scrutinizing
consultancy studies reports, vetting of building plans
and formulation of fire safety requirements and recommendations
in respect of the new railway infrastructure projects
under the Railway Development Strategy (RDS 2000).
The New Projects Division, in co-operation with the Buildings
Authority, is responsible for the vetting of new building
plans and formulating of fire protection requirements
in accordance with the standards set out in the Code of
Practice for Minimum Fire Service Installations and Equipment.
The Loan Scheme Supporting Team co-ordinates loans
for fire safety improvement works under the Building
Safety Loan Scheme, the purpose of which is to provide
loans to owners of all types of private (including domestic,
composite, commercial and industrial) buildings or part
thereof, who may wish to obtain financial assistance in
carrying out works for improving the fire safety of their
premises or buildings.
