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 Division 1 enforces Fire Safety
(Commercial Premises) Ordinance and Fire Safety (Buildings)
Ordinance pertaining to the upgrading of fire safety measures
in all prescribed commercial premises in the whole territory,
and specified commercial buildings, old composite buildings
and domestic buildings in the Hong Kong Island Region.
The Division is also responsible for handling building
fire safety complaints (other than licensed premises and
dangerous goods) and conducting related inspections. In
addition, with a view to improving the fire safety of
old composite buildings thoroughly, Special Enforcement
Unit initiates inspections to the buildings and takes
enforcement actions against irregularities identified.
The Building Improvement Division 2 is responsible
for enforcing Fire Safety (Commercial Premises) Ordinance
and Fire Safety (Buildings) Ordinance pertaining to
the upgrading of fire safety measures in specified commercial
buildings, old composite buildings and domestic buildings
in the Kowloon and New Territories Region.
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 Support Division is responsible for formulating,
reviewing and updating departmental policies on building
fire safety improvement. Besides, the Division also
provides administrative support to the Fire Safety Command
Headquarters and handles general enquiries, as well
as exerting great effort in public education of fire
protection which 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 will be held annually. In addition,
the Division provides logistic support to Operational
Commands and co-ordinates cross-Command fire prevention
activities where necessary. It is also responsible for
administering the Fire Safety Ambassador Scheme for
the participation of general public.
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.
