******************************************************************************************
     The Director of Fire Services, Mr Andy Yeung, led a delegation to Guangzhou today (August 26) to convene a Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao fire services security meeting for the 15th National Games (NG) with representatives from the Fire and Rescue Corps of Guangdong Province and the Macao Fire Services Bureau. The meeting aimed to ensure the safe and smooth staging of the NG, the 12th National Games for Persons with Disabilities and the 9th National Special Olympic Games.

     During the meeting, representatives from the three places introduced their respective work on ensuring fire safety for the NG. Various key topics were discussed in-depth, including optimising the emergency response plans, as well as strengthening safety measures and collaboration mechanisms during the events, to further consolidate synergy for cross-regional co-operation among the three places.

     Mr Yeung said at the meeting that the Fire Services Department (FSD) is fully committed to supporting the security of the NG in the Hong Kong competition region. This includes strategically deploying fire and ambulance resources, arranging rapid response teams and medical support, as well as conducting systematic risk assessments and safety hazard inspections at all competition venues. Moreover, the FSD actively participated in numerous test events and interdepartmental exercises to enhance its personnel's emergency response capabilities.

     In addition, representatives from the three places visited the Guangdong Olympic Sports Center and Tianhe Sports Center to learn about fire service installations at the venues, the safety protection procedures and emergency response plans in detail and assess the implementation mechanism of safety measures for the competitions. The delegations also visited the Main Operation Centre of the NG, gaining deeper insights into the cross-regional and interdepartmental modes of command and co-ordination, to fully strengthen their overall management capability in fire safety protection for large-scale competitions.

     The FSD will continue to enhance exchanges and collaboration with fire service counterparts in Guangdong Province and Macao to continuously improve capabilities in emergency response and co-ordinated security through joint exercises, resource sharing and information exchange, aiming to ensure a safe and reassuring environment for athletes and spectators of the NG.
